Season 1 • Episode 9
LatestAlice is ready to sleep over at Ben's when his kids are in the house, but Ben worries the nightly rituals will put her off; when Alice gets rattled, she gets Mary's help in an attempt to fix the situation.
A workaholic adult woman's imaginary friend from childhood comes back to her, but ends up being more of a troublemaker than a great companion.
Acting
Jenna Elfman commits so hard to physical comedy she nearly leaves her body.
Visual Effects
Mary's animation style somehow makes her look equally cuddly and unhinged.
Writing
The pilot's meet-cute with a single dad is actually rom-com sharp.
Creators
Shawn Levy, David Katzenberg
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
ABC burned off the final four episodes in three weeks after pulling it from the schedule — Mary literally got imaginary-friend-zoned by her own network.
This was part of a weird 2017 trend of 'adult woman + CGI creature' shows (see: Kevin Probably Saves the World) that all died immediately. RIP to a real genre.
