Better With You is a romantic comedy series that aired on ABC from 2010 to 2011. The show focused on three different couples from the same family, each with their own unique take on love and relationships. Firstly, there is Mia (JoAnna Garcia), a young woman in her 20s who has been dating her boyfriend, Casey (Jake Lacy), for just seven weeks when she finds out she is pregnant. Mia and Casey come from very different backgrounds and have vastly different personalities, which leads to a lot of conflicts and misunderstandings throughout the show. Despite this, they genuinely care for each other and try to make their relationship work for the sake of their unborn child.

Mia's parents, Vicky (Debra Jo Rupp) and Joel (Kurt Fuller), have been married for 30 years and are the complete opposite of Mia and Casey. They are a traditional couple who have their own way of doing things and can be quite judgmental of their daughter's choices. However, they also provide a lot of comedic relief with their quirky personalities and funny antics.

The second couple on the show is Mia's sister, Maddie (Jennifer Finnigan), and her long-term boyfriend, Ben (Josh Cooke). They have been together for nine years but have yet to get married, much to the disappointment of Maddie's parents. Maddie and Ben are the complete opposite of Mia and Casey as they are both highly organized and focused on their careers, which leads to a lot of conflicts when they both become competitive for a job promotion.

Lastly, there is Mia and Maddie's younger brother, Casey (Jake Lacy), who is still figuring out his love life. He goes through a series of short-term relationships throughout the show, but eventually finds himself falling for Mia and Maddie's childhood friend, Kim (Joanna Garcia), who has just returned to town after traveling the world for several years.

Overall, Better With You is a heartwarming and comedic series that explores different aspects of love and relationships. It provides an honest and relatable portrayal of the ups and downs of dating and marriage, and how different personalities can be both a strength and a weakness in a relationship. The show is filled with enjoyable characters, witty humor, and heartwarming moments that will leave viewers feeling satisfied and entertained.

Better With You is a series that ran for 1 seasons (22 episodes) between September 22, 2010 and on ABC
