Alyssa Milano likes to think of her new sitcom Romantically Challenged (premieres tonight, ABC, 9:30 p.m. ET) as Friends for the Facebook and Twitter generation.
“It’s edgy and real and about a group of friends who are functional and awesome when they’re together, but outside of their circle, they’re socially inept,” she says. The show, created by Ricky Blitt (who’s written for Family Guy and Politically Incorrect), follows Milano’s character — a lawyer and single mother named Rebecca — as she’s, say, encouraged to have her first one-night stand, and Kyle Bornheimer’s Perry — Rebecca’s childhood buddy who’s now a successful financial planner and Pittsburgh’s most hopeless romantic — as he struggles to please his girlfriend in the bedroom (she likes to be spanked).
