Happy New Year! Binge on Merry Happy Whatever, A New Holiday Sitcom

Happy New Year to everyone out there! It's a start of a new decade. The new '20s! Thanks for visiting us on this holiday. Speaking of holidays, the new Netflix sitcom Merry Happy Whatever has been out for a month (as we first announced) but it's still the season to catch-up. The multi-camera sitcom follows Don Quinn (Dennis Quaid), a strong-willed patriarch from Philadelphia doing his best to balance the stress of the holidays with the demands of his close-knit but eclectic family - and his family doing their best to manage him. But when youngest daughter Emmy (Bridgit Mendler) arrives home from L.A. with a new boyfriend, struggling musician Matt (Brent Morin), Don's belief that "there's the Quinn way... and the wrong way" is put to the test. Note: The first season of the show, which has 8 episodes, takes place over the week or so around Christmas. Ashley Tisdale, Garcelle Beauvais and Hayes MacArthur also star. Future seasons of Merry Happy Whatever might explore other holidays.
