Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life
该剧集中反映了人们大学毕业后(直到真正成家立业之前)普遍都会犯的错误和经历过的不幸遭遇。主人公Cooper Barrett(Jack Cutmore-Scott)是个26岁的年轻人,一场灾难驱使他向那些未满二十岁的少男少女们传授一堂重要的生活课:在大学毕业后,你总会遇到各种各样出人意料的挑战。 大学毕业几年后,Cooper Barrett仍然没有找到心仪的工作,他不小心爱上了住在对门的美丽理疗师Kelly Bishop(Meaghan Rath),而且他总是遇到「大麻烦」。他的室友们也好不到哪去:Neal(Charlie Saxton)没有勇气甩掉当健美运动员的女友,另一个室友Barry(James Earl)是个惹人喜爱但是永远都在自找麻烦的蠢蛋,哥哥Josh(Justin Bartha)是个有两个孩子的父亲(但总是和他们这帮单身汉混在一起)。他们几乎没有共同点……除了拥有彼此之外。Josh的妻子Leslie(Liza Lapira)对他们一肚子怨气,搞得他们都不敢去见她! Cooper要面对的生活挑战简直太多了,他感觉自己都快玩不下去了——在监狱里待了一夜,发送了一条永远不该发送的短信,疯狂的前女友找上门来,很不明智地弄了一只宠物,快破产了……但Cooper的不幸遭遇恰恰是我们这些观众的幸事,我们将从他这些混乱而搞笑的生活错误中汲取教训,从而避免成为Cooper那样的灾星。 该剧的剧名原本叫做《The Guide To Surviving Life》,Fox最终决定把「Cooper Barrett」的名字加上去(搞得名字又臭又长)。
