CBS New Comedy: Life in Pieces




Life In Pieces, a new comedy coming to CBS this September, is about one big happy family and their somewhat awkward, often hilarious and ultimately beautiful milestone moments as told by its various family members.

Of the three siblings, middle child Matt has just found true love, his co-worker, Colleen, his coddled youngest brother, Greg, and his wife, Jen, are overwhelming by the birth of their first child. And the eldest, Heather and her husband, Tim, who are dreading their impending empty nest so much, they're considering having another baby.

Their parents, Joan, the family's adoring matriarch who would do anything for her kids...as long as she agrees with it. And John, the gregarious patriarch who's searching for ways to soften the blow of turning 70. As the family's lives unfold in four short stories each week, they try to savor these little pieces of time that flash by but stay with you forever, because these moments add up to what life's all about.

Starring Dianne Wiest (Law & Order), James Brolin ("Marcus Welby, MD" & "The Reagans" ), Zoe Lister-Jones ("Whitney"), Colin Hanks ("Dexter"), Betsy Brandt ("Breaking Bad" & "The Michael J. Fox Show"), Thomas Sadoski ("Newsroom"), Dan Bakkedahl ("The Mindy Project" & "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart").
