Up All Night is my new favorite sitcom. Reagan (Christina Applegate) and Chris (Will Arnett) are married with a baby. Chris is a stay-at-home dad, and Reagan works as a producer on Ava!, a television show starring her best friend (Maya Rudolph).
It's one of those shows where I couldn't care less about the story line. What is fun for me is watching these actors. They are all wondeful comic actors with expressive faces and a willingness to look silly at every opportunity. It's a boomer humor with jokes about wearing Huey Lewis T-shirts ironically or vetting your Facebook page to see if it's appropriately cool. Again, irony is the only way that you can vouch for liking soup on FB. It's a charming, smart show.
