## Synopsis

The Millers (2013-2015) is a American network sitcom created by Greg Garcia for CBS. Will Arnett plays Nathan Miller, a divorced reporter who expects to enjoy the single life until his parents' marital problems derail his plans. Margo Martindale plays his mother Carol and Beau Bridges plays his father Tom, a pair whose long-running feuding keeps dragging their adult son back into the middle of their troubles. Nelson Franklin and Jayma Mays play the Stoker couple next door, and JB Smoove plays Ray, adding further friction to the household. Sean Hayes joins in the second season as Kip Finkle, another source of chaos. The show runs two seasons and thirty-four episodes of roughly twenty-two minutes each, built around standalone domestic misadventures in a Virginia family setting rather than one continuing story. Each episode is a brisk stack of crosstalk, mild embarrassments, and parental interference, with a warm, breezy register underneath the bickering. Fans of Everybody Loves Raymond and The Goldbergs will find the same blend of exasperated affection and family friction, and the show suits viewers who like easygoing multi-camera comedy about messy relatives. Its premise is a light, familiar take on divorce, parenting, and the stubborn pull of home.
