Raising Hope
Created by Greg Garcia
On FOX
A warm, family-centered sitcom that treats an absurd premise—a serial killer's baby—as the setup for a genuinely affectionate portrait of multigenerational parenting and found family.
James "Jimmy" Chance is a clueless 24-year-old who impregnates a serial killer during a one-night-stand. Earning custody of his daughter after the mother is sentenced to death, Jimmy relies on his oddball but well-intentioned family for support in raising the child.
