Go On

2012–2013 · 1 season

A brisk, warm sitcom that balances silly group-therapy antics with genuine pangs of loss, easy to watch but with a soft emotional core.

Created by: Scott Silveri
Genres: Comedy, Drama
Starring: Matthew Perry, Laura Benanti, Julie White

Overview: Ryan King, a recent widower and sports talk radio host ready to get back to work after the loss of his wife. Ryan's alpha-male boss, Stephen, has a different plan in store for Ryan, making him attend grief counseling before returning to the air. A reluctant Ryan finds himself in a support group for "life change," where he meets an oddball cast of characters, all with their own backstories filled with varying degrees of loss.
