“Raising Hope” – Fox show Tuesday, 9pm – 10pm, Tuesday, October 26

I just previewed their Halloween episode and it’s wild! This show is centered around Jimmy’s little baby girl who is just a few months old. The mother was executed in prison, so Jimmy is the caretaker. He didn’t really know the mother, so there was nothing sad about it. Jimmy’s mother, played by Martha Plimpton, is good in this as is Cloris Leachman who is the grandma, but goes by Maw Maw. Maw Maw thinks Jimmy is her husband which makes for some crazy, mixed-up times! She runs around in her white bra and not much else. You might wonder how a little child could have a decent upbringing in such a crazy household, but you then realize all the family members are good people even if they are strange in some ways. Sort of like a normal family that loves each other.

In this episode Maw Maw puts on her Halloween costume backwards so the topless back is in the front. The mother gets upset and tells her to go out on the porch as it’s her turn to watch for Japanese airplanes. She obviously lives in the past. The mom says she looks like a transvestite ninja which she actually does!

The episode continues with more ridiculous happenings and makes for a very funny Halloween show. I would think anyone would enjoy it – I know I did!
