When was the last time your jaw dropped watching something so funny on TV that it took your breath away? Welcome to the wonderfully weird world of the Chance clan, three generations of scrappy survivors who set a new standard for family values in this hit Fox series. Their adventure begins when young Jimmy Chance (Lucas Neff) has a one night stand with Lucy (Bijou Phillips), an on-the-lam and seriously sexy serial killer. The result of their one night in a van leads to the birth of baby Hope, while the result of her killing leads Lucy to the electric chair. Rather than ‘drop the baby off at the firehouse” as his mom (Martha Plimpton) suggests, Jimmy decides to do the right thing and raise Hope himself. Or with the help of his equally clueless family. The comedy is outrageous, but extremely smart and well written, while the fantastic acting adds depth and soul to the ongoing shenanigans.
