Living with Fran

Premise

With a starting point similar to The WB network's hit comedy, Reba, Living With Fran revolves around a woman who has come to a crossroads and is starting to enjoy the new direction her life has taken. Drescher stars as Fran Reeves, a divorcée who has found Riley (Ryan McPartlin, Passions), her mid-twenties boyfriend. Their relationship is complicated by the fact that they are sharing a home with Fran's 21-year-old son, Josh (Ben Feldman), and 16-year-old daughter, Allison (Misti Traya, Huff), but Fran isn't complaining.

Fran was surprised when Josh cracked under the pressure of medical school and dropped out, but she welcomed him back into her new life. From Josh's point of view, the sweet but self-doubting mom he used to know has blossomed into a self-confident, free-spirited woman with a growing career as an interior designer and a handsome young boyfriend.

Because this unusual family is still trying to figure each other out, they face some uncomfortable events, such as an unexpected visit from Riley's parents (guest stars Marilu Henner, Taxi, and John Schneider, Smallville) and the return of Fran's ex-husband (re-occurring guest star Charles Shaughnessy, Ms. Drescher's former co-star on The Nanny). Everywhere they turn, Fran and Riley will have to deal with other people's attitudes and assumptions about their new domestic situation, and it will take all the humor, patience and affection they can manage to make this reconstituted family work.
