They`ll have trouble convincing those sticking with the show that McPhee character should be Marilyn. Reason being not just that Hilty one is more suited but McPhee`s character, being a newcomer who takes the spot from a vet, is less sympathetic because overnight success is less likable than paying your dues and hitting big thanks to hard work. Which is why they had to saddle Hilty character with the couch casting cliche to make her look bad. Also, putting the marketing of the show on McPhee`s shoulders is unfair to the girl because the show is obviously skewing older (there are no teens) and yet she is supposed to attract teens. Who won`t stay around for Cruella deBotoxville and Debra Messings family yawnathon or McPhee and her dull boyfriend (also in his 30s). I`m affraid that this is the case of network and PR annointing McPhee a bone fide star before the audience had their say. And like in many cases of overexposed-before-proving-themselves leads, they may not embrace the pre-manufactured star. That`s what I`m getting from comments. That the hype led people to believe the pilot id special and McPhee is sepcial and that eevrything was really meh and predicatbel and ordinary.
