New CBS Sitcom First Look: Project Gary

The multi-camera sitcom Project Gary stars Jay Mohr (Ghost Whisperer) as Gary Barnes and Paula Marshall (Nip/Tuck) as Allison, a couple divorced after fifteen years of marriage who share custody of their two children. Their “politically correct and environmentally conscious” eleven-year-old daughter Louise is played by Laura Marano (Back to You, Without a Trace), while Ryan Malgarini (How to Eat Fried Worms) portrays their fourteen-year old “socially awkward” son Tom.

Gary, a painting contractor, finally re-enters the dating world and hooks up with single mother Vanessa (Jaime King of The Class), whom he meets when he’s hired to paint her apartment. Complications arise, however, when Gary learns his ex-wife is engaged to the ex-couple’s therapist, which encourages him to pursue his own form of happiness.

CBS ordered 13 episodes of the series executive produced by Ed Yeager (Still Standing) and Ric Swartzlander (8 Simple Rules). View a clip after the jump.
