Four friends in their early 30s try to navigate the tricky world of dating as they try to find love and happiness in Pittsburgh. Smart and beautiful Rebecca (Alyssa Milano - Charmed, Who's the Boss) is recently divorced after many years of marriage, and, although a gifted mom and lawyer, she's clueless about dating and hopes to get some help from her friends -- even though they are just as romantically challenged. Perry (Kyle Bornheimer), Rebecca's best friend since childhood, is one of Pittsburgh's most sensitive hopeless romantics. When it comes to matters of the heart, Perry is a romance-aholic, falling in love with women twenty minutes after meeting them. Shawn (Josh Lawson), a struggling novelist, is Perry's best friend and rent-free roommate, and has never had a relationship more serious than a three-night stand. Rounding out the group is Rebecca's baby sister, Lisa (Kelly Stables), whose sweet appearance belies the fact she's a sassy pit bull ready to protect her older sister. (official distributor synopsis)

As cute as Alyssa Milano is, as stunning as Kelly Stables is, and as funny as Josh Lawson's variation on Chandler Bing is, so is all of Romantically Challenged unoriginal. Not that I didn't laugh – the comedic timing of the actors is too spot-on not to – but there have obviously been plenty of sitcoms about friendship-sibling groups, as this show's early cancellation will attest. Even without it, we probably will never see another Friends, but I just needed some kind of more substantial storyline.
