“Home Economics” co-star Sasheer Zamata said that the ABC sitcom closer to his home is the realism of the hit.
“A lot of families don’t do shows, which talk about money, which is surprising,” he told The Post. “What do you do when a family member gives you money?” I also have a money situation with various members of my family – and I can certainly relate to how it is portrayed in the show.
“There is a lot involved.”
There is – and that is the basis for “Home Economics”, the ensemble comedy aired Wednesday (8:30 pm) three closely-knit Hiworth siblings – Sarah (Caitlin McGee), Tom (Tothar Krupa) and Connor (Jimmy) Tatro) around them – which are at different levels of the socio-economic scale. Connor, the youngest, is a former private equity multi-millionaire with a broken marriage; Tom, a best-selling author, is a married-to-the-former lawyer with children Marina (Carla Souza) and has money problems; And older sister Caitlin, who is married to schoolboy Dennis (Zamata), has just been fired from her job and is worried about how she will support herself and her two children.
The sitcom was inspired by the life of Michael Colton, who made the series with John Aboud.
“Denis is more than an observer outside of Hyworths’ insanity; Marina and Dennis married into this family and this is largely a witness, “said Jamata, an actress / comedian who spent four seasons on” Saturday Night Live “and whose resumed” Walk, “” The Last Ozzy “and Sify’s roles.” Khambhan. “
“Denise is very down to earth and energetic and is an enthusiastic woman who is not very different from me. She is into astrology and crystal and the moon, but it is also practical – she is there to calm Sara down and make sure that she keeps a level about her brothers.
“She is Sara’s rock in that way.”
“Home Economics” marks Zamata’s first co-starring role in a network sitcom.
He added, “There is a little more heart in this show, and you definitely have moments of genuine relationships between these characters and also make fun of them.” “There are moments that really differ in emotion and, because the show’s nexus is money, it can be awkward to talk about – with a significant other, siblings, parents, kids … I think That can take us to different places. [in the series]”
He added that Dennis would also add to some surprises as the series progressed. (Seven episodes have been shot so far.)
“There’s a funny story where she actually gets involved in Connor’s job. You think she denies that – doesn’t want to get into it because it’s ‘blood money’ or not a socially sound thing on the surface – but she actually gets involved and to get involved on a real level Uses her ‘woo woo’ methods. “
Zamata, who auditioned for roles in other series before landing “Home Economics”, said Dennis offered a different approach.
“I don’t think I auditioned for any other characters that were this crunchy-granola, to say the least,” she said. “I like that she is lovely, but I also like that she is realistic and not just a visually positive person. She can also bring people to the earth and can also bring herself to the earth.
“The way she fits in with this family, even in her relationship with Sarah, which is very practical and also like crunchy-granola, but she is a lot more angry than the world [Denise]. We strike a good balance with each other – yes, Sarah is right for a long time, but Dennis can bring her into this world ‘We don’t have to run everyone because they’re wrong. We can also use love to get what we want. ‘
“It’s a nice dynamic to see within this large family.”
