ABCâs newest comedy, âHome Economics,â stars Topher Grace, Caitlyn McGee, and Jimmy Tatro and seemingly tries to tap into Topher Graceâs past sitcom success in his role on âThat 70âs Showâ but fails to reach the same level of excellence. The show has its merits, but ultimately comes across as a lackluster attempt to provide hyper-relevant comedy and levity for 2021.
âHome Economicsâ follows a trio of siblings as they go through adulthood, focusing on each of their struggles while also bringing to light their individual successes. Tom (Topher Grace) is a struggling middle-class author married to the well-off lawyer Marina (Karla Souza). Sarah (Caitlyn McGee) is a working-class woman married to Denise (Sasheer Zamata) who has just been laid off. Lastly, Connor (Jimmy Tatro) is a wildly successful money manager living in (as is often mentioned) Matt Damonâs former house on the San Francisco Bay.

Nora Dunn.
Youâll see in Episode 2 how even going out to restaurants or any mention of money whatsoever has that lingering over your head. [Thereâs always this] understanding that you now owe that person in more ways than just financially. Youâre going to see a little bit of that cloud on top of both Marina and Tom in the next episodes. Sometimes Connor can use his money to keep his family close, which is endearing.

How much will Marinaâs career come into play?
We definitely get to see Marina go back to work. Thereâs an episode where she is undervalued, where no one thinks what she does at home as a mom is worthy of being called a job. She feels the need to remind herself that she is valued. She goes back to work only to realize that maybe itâs not exactly what she wants to be doing because she was a corporate lawyer and thereâs a lot of office politics and things that go into that. But there is the need for her to have something of her

Talking about money with family and friends can be awkward.
That’s the premise of ABC’s new sitcom, “Home Economics,” which airs Wednesdays and stars Topher Grace, who’s returning to broadcast TV for the first time since “That ’70s Show.”
“There’s nothing that comes between friends like money,” Grace, 42, said. “We put the onus on family and togetherness and the things that matter that money can’t buy.”
