Brad Garrett on Why ‘Single Parents’ Is ‘Realistic’ About Raising Kids
Q&A
It really does take a village, as the single moms and dads of Hilltop Elementary School are quick to point out (even though they hate the phrase).
The Single Parents cast includes Taran Killam (Saturday Night Live), Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl), and Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond) as a clique of parents who rely on one another to make it through the wild ride of raising children.
Garrett, who plays a wealthy widower with twins (Ella and Mia Allen), explains why it’s worth hiring a babysitter and tuning in.
