Suburgatory

This is a sitcom series revolves around a single father, George Altman, and his daughter, Tessa Altman, moving from New York to the suburbs. Tessa does not like moving because she loves New York. The suburbs remind her of The Stepford Wives and it's all perfect, too perfect; the grass is greener, every morning the community waters their garden and plastic. Suburgatory is a combination of 'suburban' and 'purgatory'. Suburban area and purgatory, as in between heaven and hell. Tessa finds it hard to fit in but over time, she finds her way to fit in while having a hint that she likes the suburbs. George is also fitting in with the first season portraying George likeable, especially one episode that he was in the school's PTA and helping the PTA ladies on  men's issue. George has a friend, Alan, George's best friend, who is a dentist. Sheila is the busy body in the series, especially since she is George's front neighbour.
The series is entertaining to watch, especially how the Altman are trying to fit in. It has three season around its belt and looking forward for more seasons to come. An entertaining series.
