GARY UNMARRIED stars Jay Mohr ("Ghost Whisperer") and
Paula Marshall ("Nip/Tuck") in a comedy about Gary Barnes,
a recently single painting contractor, and his controlling
ex-wife, Allison, who face post-divorce mayhem after 15
years of marriage as they each embark on new relationships.
He's the fun parent and she's the strict one. Together, they
share custody of their two children - Louise (Laura Marano,
"Without a Trace"), a politically correct and environmentally
conscious 11-year-old, and Tom (Ryan Malgarini, "How to Eat
Fried Worms"), their socially awkward 14-year-old son who is
nervous around girls.
Charming and acerbic, Gary hasn't dated since the split,
but finally connects with Vanessa (Jaime King, "The Class"),
a single mother whose condo he was hired to paint. He dreads
telling Allison about Vanessa because it doesn't adhere to
her belief in their marriage counselor's book, "Rules for the
Perfect Divorce." However, when Allison tells him that she's
engaged to their shrink, all bets are off and Gary decides
it's time to move forward. Now, in pursuit of post-marriage
happiness, Gary must juggle his eclectic world of an ex-wife,
their two kids, their shrink and his gorgeous new girlfriend.
