About me: From the creative team headed by award-winning Writer/Producer, Lionell Hilliard, whose list of credits include "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air", "Sister/Sister", "The Bernie Mac Show" and "Girlfriends," comes a brand-new television sit-com about a blended Houston family coping with life after Hurricane Katrina. "As For Me and My House" follows the lives of single-parent sisters, Nicole and Michelle, and all their children.
A modern take on the old ‘Odd Couple’ series from the 1970s, Nicole is a middle-30s attorney in Houston pursuing the position of partner with her law firm. At first glance, she seems to have it all together. She has the house, the car and two (2) kids in private school. But because of her hectic work and socializing schedule, her kids often have to contend with ‘happy meals’ and ‘blockbuster nights.’ Her younger sister, Michelle, is a street-savvy hairstylist in New Orleans with three (3) children, all from different fathers. But ironically, Michelle is stronger in the parenting department due in part to her being more hip to the latest teenage lingo and simply "keeping it real."
When Hurricane Katrina claims Michelle’s home, she does the obvious: With her kids in tow, she packs up all her pressing combs, her tarot cards and her gumbo pot and makes the trek to H-town to move in with Nicole and her suburban family. Now both women must check their attitudes at the door and blend their differences of opinion, educational levels and authoritative styles into a flavorful, yet spicy blend of cultural gumbo. “As For Me and My House”… This ain’t the Brady Bunch!
Thirteen (13) thirty-minute episodes are being made available for wide distribution. All rights are available.

Whups! I'm sorry - the link to the thread discussing the As for Me and My House pilot and the ideas is here: http://www.houstonarchitecture.(info)/haif/index.php?showtopic=15016&st=0&gopid=230856&#entry230856
Hi! I feel an interest in this show and I thought of some interesting ideas to go with this. I am a poster on the Houston Area Information Forum and the thread about the show is here: http://www.houstonarchitecture../haif/index.php?showtopic=15016&st=0&gopid=230856&#entry230856
I like the ideas in particular that the poster "Jeebus" thought of - I think this would be great as a drama show with some comedy overtones so the show doesn't take itself too seriously. :)
