Winter TV Preview 2017: The Scoop on 29 Shiny New Shows

The 1-Sentence Pitch: What if a woman as irresponsible as It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia‘s Dee were forced to raise her sister’s children?

What to Expect: Creators John and Dave Chernin were longtime writers for Always Sunny; Kaitlin Olson is one of its stars. But rather than a watered-down Always Sunny, John says they wanted something "that would make you groan the way Married… With Children used to." The characters aren’t lovable, but they love each other — which gives them leeway to do absolutely terrible things, resulting in some truly hilarious moments. Is feel-good cringe comedy a thing? It is now.

Getting Physical: Olson is a fearless comedian, often at the expense of her body. "She would go to the hospital once a season" as a result of some stunt or another on the Always Sunny set, says John. And while they’re happy to make use of her gifts in that way — Dave says their motto is, "The more violent, the funnier" — they often have to play stunt police. Says John, "It’s usually about trying to pull Kaitlin back.” —Robert Chan
