If you haven't been watching Raising Hope because it looks like another white-trash joke factory in the vein of My Name is Earl, you're missing out. Not only was Earl a pretty damn funny show (most of the time), but Hope is even funnier, and has an even better cast. Martha Plimpton, Garret Dillahunt and Cloris Leachman are at the top of their games, and newcomer Lucas Neff has an amazing deadpan as the idiotic lead Jimmy, who's raising a baby he fathered with a executed murderess.
This week's episode follows Jimmy as he take his dad Burt to get a vasectomy, and the doctor is played by "Hey, It's That Guy!" character actor Sam McMurray (Freaks and Geeks, Friends, King of Queens). He's a great guest-star, but people will probably be more excited about next week's guest, Mary Lynn Rajskub, who plays the cult wife of Jimmy's cousin Mike, who's one of three "brother-husbands." Sister Wives comedy with a former 24 star beats vasectomy humor any day of the week.
Raising Hope airs tonight at 9:30, opposite new episodes of V, Biggest Loser, NCIS: LA and Hellcats.
