Raising Hope is a show that focuses on the family relations and the bonds that people share. The show that made its debut on September 21, 2011 on FOX has made the prime time slot on Tuesdays its home. The show in its season 1 revolves around the life of a 23-year-old father, James “Jimmy” Chance and his attempts to raise a child from a one night stand.
It is shown that Jimmy had a one night stand with a serial killer, which lead her to giving birth to a child, while she was in prison. Interestingly, Jimmy never knew about this until he contacted the mother, eight months later. The mother, Lucy being a serial killer, gets turned in by the Chance family when they discover the same and hence, executed when the child is only six months old. Then the only one left for the girl is Jimmy, who on account of his young age does not know a thing about parenting.
The show is then turned to the attempts that he makes on raising the child and the help that he receives from his ill-equipped family. The show also involves the lives of the family members and their backgrounds.
The main cast of the show includes names like Lucas Neff as James Chance (Hope’s Father), Martha Plimpton, playing Virginia Chance (Hope’s Grandmother), Garret Dillahunt as Burt Chance (Hope’s Grandfather). The role of Hope is played by Baylie and Rylie Cregut.
The show also includes Shannon Woodward playing Sabrina, who is a grocery market worker. The series shows Jimmy getting interested in her. But the series also showcases her having a boyfriend, who happens to study finance in New York. As the show carries on, it takes an interesting direction and the situations develop intriguingly.
