Perfect Couples with Olivia Munn

Perfect Couples with Olivia Munn

Coming to the NBC lineup is Perfect Couples with Olivia Munn. “Perfect Couples” depicts the misadventures of three engaging couples as they struggle to find out what makes the ideal relationship — and how to maintain it through humorous trial-and-error. The series explores their heroic journey in search of the perfect relationship without destroying each other in the process. There’s no such thing as the perfect couple – even though it might look that way, behind closed doors it’s a whole different story. This new comedy is about three couples trying to keep the spark alive. Here are the couples:

Rex (Hayes MacArthur, “She’s Out of My League”), a reformed party guy, and, and his wife, Leigh (Olivia Munn, “Attack of the Show”), who considers herself as the group’s mother hen. Believing that they are relationship experts, Rex and Leigh have attended every class and seminar on relationships — and regard themselves as the “perfect couple.”

Dave (Kyle Howard, “My Boys”) and Julia (Christine Woods, “Flash Forward”) are the relatable, normal couple, but Julia’s hope of remaining the cool, low-maintenance chick is tested by Dave’s attempts to keep both his wife and his needy best friend Vance (Dave Walton, NBC’s “100 Questions”) equally happy. Vance, along with the neurotic Amy (Mary Elizabeth Ellis, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”), are the high-passion, high-drama couple who bring out the best and worst in each other.

This comedy with a cast of three distinctive couples who share the same issues and will draw viewers in with their relatable stories. Look for it Fall 2010 on NBC. Olivia Munn may have a full TV schedule on her hands this year with Attack of the Show, The Daily Show, and now Perfect Couples. She’s also got the book Suck it Wonder Woman: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek coming out too.
