You don't have to be family to be family
Will Freeman lives a charmed existence as the ultimate man-child. After writing a hit song, he was granted a life of free time, free love and freedom from financial woes. He's single, unemployed and loving it. So imagine his surprise when Fiona, a needy single mom and her oddly charming 11-year-old son, Marcus, move in next door and disrupt his perfect world. When Marcus begins dropping by his home unannounced, Will's not so sure about being a kid's new best friend, until, of course, Will discovers that women find single dads irresistible. That changes everything and a deal is struck: Marcus will pretend to be Will's son and, in return, Marcus is allowed to chill at Will's house. Before he realizes it, Will starts to enjoy the visits and even finds himself looking out for the kid. In fact, this newfound friendship may very well teach him a thing or two that he never imagined possible - about himself and caring for others.

I enjoyed About a Boy, but it ended on a frustrating cliffhanger. Will was facing a lawsuit from someone claiming they co-wrote his most successful song and were seeking both current and past royalties. Unfortunately, the show never resolved this storyline, as it was abruptly dropped in the second season. Aside from that unresolved plot and the early cancellation, the series was quite enjoyable.
Cancelled already? Come on NBC. You let The Office limp on for 9 seasons but we only get 33 episodes of this gem? I guess we can just be thankful you didn't let this one run itself into the ground.
Goodbye. It was cancelled. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/nbc-cancels-state-affairs-a-794494
It was refreshing to see, in the Pilot, Will was in tight black boxer briefs, like modern folk wear. FFS to the er is and the Network TV morality police seem to have forced him to wear OAP baggy boxers.
The pilot has potential. I really liked the movie and I adore Minnie Driver, so here's hoping!
