Fleeing New York amid a PR scandal, successful and savvy music exec Rudi Wilson takes her two children, Dick and Apple, and goes to the suburbs. Settling in to raise her brood without the help of their father -- who opted to stay in New York with his yoga instructor -- Rudi sets her mind to the task of parenthood. But she finds that she is unequipped to manage her kids and new life, so she turns to a new support system for help. A new pal, Sarah, feels a bit intimidated by Rudi's former urban life buts acts as a guide to challenges of suburbia and parenting. Neighbor Greg, a widower raising his stepson, means well but is clueless. And Rudi's former client, rap star 2BIT, makes frequent visits to seek her advice. More conflict comes in the form of Jenny and Meghan, a too-perfect PTA queen and her sidekick.

Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times 11/06/2013
The creative team took the easy way out, relying on tired tropes and manufactured scenarios to make its point. Which seems to be that women can be just as terrible at parenting as men. Go to Full Review Jean Bentley Mashable 06/16/2020
Two episodes in and Rudi hasn't changed. Without any character development, there's no reason to watch. The jokes aren't that funny or innovative. The fish-out-of-water concept has been done before, and better, many times. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 11/21/2013

Sean M @RT07024826 12/21/2021 Hulu pushed the crap out of this stink burger trying to reach god knows which demographic and it couldn't break the first season. Years later I'm happy to come back and dance on this annoyingly advertised grave. See more 05/01/2021 Relies on tired stereotypes, including racist ones. 'Edgy' humor, one of the first jokes is straight up shooting children. No punchline. Ha ha, we shoot children. That's it. See more 10/26/2019 This show is unapologetically and blatantly RACIST!!! Who wrote this and thought this was funny??!! See more 08/17/2015 Not groundbreaking, but funny enough to watch. See more 04/30/2014 Show is funny as hell See more 04/20/2014 Very amusing. Not the best cartoon, but not the worst. I think that they nailed the suburban mother stereotypes, but other aspects of the show could use some minor improvements. I would miss it if it was canceled, nonetheless. See more Read all reviews
