This sitcom is about Steven, a civil rights lawyer with a questionable sense of personal boundaries who works at his law firm with his most recent ex-wife, Joy, while his current wife, Bliss, employs her own ex-husband, Giovanni, to help her out around the house. Inspired by a true situation… But with sock puppets.

Vision for the Show:
“Codependent Socks!” is a show about a family that can’t function, without the wife’s ex-husband and the husband’s ex-wife. With three kids from three marriages, each with a different mom of a different race, we’ll explore civil rights, culture clashes, and awkward blended family dynamics rooted in love, while asking the question “what really is a ‘normal’ family, and does that even exist?” In the spirit of a classic family sitcom (satirized for modern audiences with sock puppets), stories will be self-contained—each full-length episode exploring the intricacies of a family tree with knotted branches.
