The Goodwin Games (premieres tonight)

[Qalbert]

The Goodwin Games is an upcoming American television comedy series that will premiere on May 20, 2013 as a 2012–13 midseason replacement on Fox. It was created and written by Carter Bays and Craig Thomas (creators of How I Met Your Mother) alongside Chris Harris for Fox Television Studios.

The series revolves around a trio of estranged siblings—Henry, an overachieving surgeon, Chloe, a former child prodigy with a smart streak who became the popular girl working at a bar, and Jimmy, an ex-con guitarist with a daughter (and who is in trouble with a loan shark over a debt)—who return home after their father's death. However, prior to his death, their father made a unique arrangement with his will: the siblings will inherit $23 million if they can follow his trivial wishes (through the use of the game Trivial Pursuit, customized with questions about their lives), which means that they have to rediscover their lives and hopefully be the people he wanted his children to be. But they are going to have to deal with competition from another person who was picked by their father and the appointed executor with whom Chloe is a former friend.

No idea yet if it will be any good, but since it's from the creators of HIMYM I figure it might be worth checking out.

Free ep of the #goodwingames on hulu NOW! It’s by the HIMYM guys so you know the Q in the title, if it existed, would stand for quality.

Ha! I love this show already. The premise is very fun. God Becki Newton is so damn hot. Loved her in HIMYM as Quinn.

Pretty funny. Will continue to watch
