The Robinsons

After he's fired from his long-term job, Ed Robinson moves in with his aunt and tries to find both a career that he prefers to the reinsurance business and a steady girlfriend. Efforts of his family—bickering parents Pam and Hector, successful older brother George, and perfectionist sister Vicky—to meddle in his affairs further complicate his life.

Directed by Mark Bussell, Justin Sbresni, The Robinsons leans on a strong ensemble — Martin Freeman, Hugh Bonneville, Abigail Cruttenden — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2005.
