Frantic Jewish divorcée Fran Reeves falls madly in love with Riley Douglas Martin, a hunky contractor half her age, who moves in with her and her nasty ex Ted's two adolescent children, timid med-school dropout Joshua 'Josh' and bitchy high-school girl Allison. They all have a hard-enough time finding out where they fit in this reconstituted, unofficial household, not an actual family, and things are even worse when outsiders wonder or ignore how it all works, given the shifted generations, Riley being barely older then his 'step-kids', actually an ideal big brother if only he were a sibling rather than the provider. Alliances and antagonisms shift, but ultimately true love triumphs and things work out.

A Year of Living with Fran

Fri, Sep 16, 200530 mins

Unlike Fran, who still can't admit she needs glasses, Riley remembered it's the first anniversary of his moving in with the Reeves family. So she decides to cook lobster Tetrazzini and he serves it bare-chested, but just then Allison brings her friend Becca for dinner, who thinks Josh is sexy too. Worse next: Fran's nasty ex Ted Reeves, the kids' dad, who dropped by with daughter Allison's laptop. After the way Ted takes Ryan's seat, constantly belittles him and the others practically ignore him, Ryan is out of the mood and wonders if he has any place at all. However the blond hunk's role is soon remembered when everybody needs a savior...

Smallville Oh no, please don't...

Smallville Oh no, please don't shoot Clark. We can't lose him. Whatever would we do without him? However would we go on? OK, I kid, but sometimes you just have to with repeats. Clark got his powers back, but not without a doozy of a prophesy: Someone close to him is gonna die — retribution for becoming SuperClark again. The WB is getting a lot of mileage out of this plot point — have you seen the promos? While we're on the subject of network promos, Living with Fran is returning. Yes, this is a guilty pleasure of mine, I admit it. Plus, I have a sneaking suspicion that Beauty and the Geek is about to come back. Maybe it's because they tell us the show's coming back every 15.4 seconds during any given commercial break. So did you catch The O.C.'s Bizarro Se
