Raising Hope is a new single-camera family comedy from Emmy Award winner Greg Garcia that follows the Chance family as they find themselves adding an unexpected new member into their household. At 23 years old, Jimmy Chance is going nowhere in life. He skims pools for a living, parties every night and still lives at home with his family, including his Maw Maw; his mother, Virginia and his father, Burt.

Jimmy's life takes a drastic turn when a chance romantic encounter with Lucy goes awry once he discovers she is a wanted felon. Months later, when Jimmy pays a visit to the local prison, he learns Lucy is pregnant with their baby, and after she gives birth, he is charged with raising their daughter.

my take
It's from Greg Garcia, the mind behind My Name is Earl and pairs nicely with Running Wilde. The clips are definitely funny. No one aside from Cloris Leachman is a household name, but you'll recognize a few folks. I wasn't too keen on the concept itself, but the clips changed my mind.
