Little In Common is a family comedy series that aired on FOX in 2011. Created by Rob Thomas, the show revolves around three diverse families whose children play little league sports together. The families come from different backgrounds and belong to different socioeconomic classes. Although they live in the same neighborhood, they seem to have very little in common.
The show is set in Massachusetts and features the Wellers, the Tolchucks, and the Dickersons. The Weller family consists of Dave (Rob Corddry) and his wife, Terry (Paula Marshall), who are parents to a young daughter. Dave is a stay-at-home father who is struggling to adjust to his new role. Terry is a successful lawyer who works long hours and is the primary breadwinner of the family. They are often at odds with each other, and their parenting styles clash.
The Tolchuck family is headed by Lane (Kevin Hart) and Denise (Gabourey Sidibe). They are a working-class African American family with three children. Lane is a construction worker who takes pride in his work and his family. Denise is a stay-at-home mom who is overprotective of her children. They often find themselves in situations that they are unprepared for, due to cultural differences.
The Dickersons are a wealthy family headed by Michael (Josh Randall), a former professional baseball player, and his wife, Ellie (Jenny Wade), a socialite. They have three children and pride themselves on their picture-perfect family. However, their family is far from perfect, and they often struggle with personal insecurities and marital problems.
The show explores the struggles and differences between these families in a lighthearted and comedic way. It touches on issues such as race, class, and parenting, while still maintaining its focus on the children and their little league sports. The children
