Oh Ryan Murphy. We feel like we simply can't get enough of you. Can't you make a second episode of Glee each week? No?!? Okay, fine, we'll take your totally new comedy series instead: The New Normal. But only because it looks so damn hilarious, heartwarming, and undeniably cute. The New Normal is about a gay couple, David and Bryan, who want to have a baby. And it's about single mom Goldie, who agrees to be their surrogate mother. And it's about how these three people, plus Goldie's young daughter Shania and grandmother Nana -- I mean, Jane (Ellen Barkin) all come together to form one big, mostly happy family. NeNe Leakes is thrown into the family, too, as Bryan's assistant. Yep, Ryan Murphy just wants us to accept same-sex couples as the "new normal." And he's deploying what he does best: The charm offensive. Just going by the pilot I'd say resistance is futile.![]()
