Synopsis: With a worldwide readership of 62 million, the award-winning, nationally syndicated comic strip "Baby Blues" comes to life in this new animated half-hour comedy with stories for the whole family exposing the dark underbelly of suburban parenting. Set in a familiar slice of suburbia on the outskirts of normal, this irreverent new series follows the daily exploits of Darryl (voiced by Mike O’Malley, "Life with Roger," "Deep Impact") and Wanda (voiced by Julia Sweeney, "Saturday Night Live," "God Said Ha!") MacPherson. A 29-year-old career couple only just recently transformed into two well-intentioned but weary young parents, Darryl and Wanda are dealing with the dual pressures of their new little bundle of joy, Zoe (voiced by E.G. Daily, "Valley Girl," "Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure"), and the dysfunctional family living next door. Their mismatched fence neighbors, Carl (voiced by Joel Murray, "Dharma & Greg") and Melinda (voiced by Arabella Field, "Under Suspicion") Bitterman, serve as a shining example of how not to raise a child. Led by their son Rodney (voiced by Kath Soucie, "Rugrats"), an 8-year-old hellion who controls both sides of the fence, and closely followed by 5-year-old Megan (voiced by Soucie) and 4-year-old Shelby, the Bitterman kids run positively wild. While Darryl and Wanda often wonder what past-life crimes they must have committed to deserve Rodney’s constant visits to their house, baby Zoe adores this pint-sized rogue with a bowl haircut and an appetite for destruction. Adding to the mayhem is Zoe’s terminally hip baby-sitter, Bizzy (voiced by Nicole Sullivan, "Mad TV"), an indifferent student with a penchant for bad boys. At work, Darryl’s best friend Kenny (voiced by Diedrich Bader, "The Drew Carey Show") is quick to accuse Darryl of bungling a domestic situation, even though his own family ranks as a priority somewhere below his golf game. Phil LaMarr ("Mad TV") also lends his voice to the series. Developed and executive produced by Jeff Martin ("The Simpsons") and Pete Ocko ("Weird Science," "Dinosaurs"), and based on the comic strip from Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott who serve as co-executive producers, the series is produced by Warner Bros. Television. The Cast: Episodes: |
