Bill Lawrence (Scrubs) in driving the bus and brings wifey (Christa Miller-Lawrence, going hyphenate for the first time here). Busy Phillips brings the Real Housewives vibe as the neighbor, Dan Byrd (who I've been touting on this blog since Aliens in America) has the sardonic son thing down, solid TV and film comedy vets Josh Hopkins and Ian Gomez know their way around a joke, and John from Cincinnati's Brian Van Holt as the ex ... it all works for me!

I guess we'll find out in due time.
