The realities of parenthood and raising baby are funny in their own right, so why do sitcom producers feel the need take them over the top? ABC's Notes From the Underbelly focused on the "ooh's," "ahhs," and "ails" of pregnancy, but in such an overdone manner that I found myself reaching for the remote. Then, the same network launched another promising show which incorporated the experiences of real women and featured a manny and single mothers.

Last night as my hubby and I were watching Notes from the Underbelly, we laughed at the familiarity of the dilemma that the expectant parents faced in choosing a guardian.

When you are expecting, it becomes a challenge to hang with your single friends who still want to party at bars on the weekends.
On last night's episode of Notes From the Underbelly, Lauren goes out with Cooper and her new friend before it becomes quite obvious that she's a fish out of water. The mom-to-be can't relate to the dating scene, the cocktail consumption, or Vegas road trips, which makes her a little jealous.

It seems like everyone has at least one friend that just isn't into kids. I do. They always have something nice to say about my babe, "cute outfit" or something else that isn't too endearing.

I was excited to see that Notes From the Underbelly made a return to the ABC line up. I have no idea how many viewers they have, but I've yet to meet a new mom or pregnant woman who doesn't love the show. As silly as it can be, certain parts of it hit so close to home that it leaves you laughing out loud.

There aren't many parenting shows on the networks these days that resonate with real life moms and dads. Sitcoms like Notes From the Underbelly and In the Motherhood were just too over the top. But, now it looks like one hour long show in NBC's Fall lineup may break the cycle of canceled shows.
