I love shows that don't follow tried and true (and tired) formats. And I love shows driven by character development. Life in Pieces has both in spades. Each episode is comprised of four "short stories" - and these stories (or vignettes) stack upon each other to build a rich world with funny, nuanced characters...and after a few episodes this world really starts to take form. It's not the typical format where everything is tied together in a pretty bow at the end. Each short story lives and breathes its own life.
I recommend giving it a shot if you haven't already. It's not often the networks take a chance on something a little bit different. And it's not the Modern Family rip-off some claim it to be: it's a much different style, tone and type of humor.
