Playing House, your new favorite comedy from Jessica St. Clair and Lennon Parham, doesn't have a very complicated plot description. In fact, it's so uncomplicated USA broke it down to 30 seconds for a cute promo above. But don't let that fool you, the pilot is charming!

The duo that brought you NBC's criminally underrated Best Friends Forever play Emma (St. Clair) and Maggie (Parham), two best friends who come together again for Maggie's baby shower. Tragedy—Maggie's husband is cheating on her…online—strikes and Emma decides to come back to her hometown fulltime and help Maggie reassemble her life and prepare for her baby. They're Playing House. GET IT!?

The video above does a better job of explaining it.
