The Resume

    (September 26, 2003- )
    Faith Ford as Hope Shanowski
    Kelly Ripa Consuelos as Faith Fairfield
    Ted McGinley as Charley Shanowski
    Nicole Paggi as Sydney Shanowski (2003-2004)
    Megan Fox as Sydney Shanowski (2004– )
    Macey Cruthird as Hayley Shanowski
    Paulie Litt (Litowsky) as Justin Shanowski
    Created by Joanna Johnson (‘The Bold and the Beautiful')

    Premise: A conservative mother of three finds her household – and life – turned upside-down when her loony younger sister, a washed-out soap opera diva, lands on her doorstep in the Midwest

Why Hope & Faith might be annoying:

    Many were hoping that, with his television track record, McGinley's presence would cause the show to ‘jump the shark.' It survived.
    During a scene in which Regis Philbin and Mark Consuelos appeared together, Kelly's character took a not-so-subtle jab at them (‘can you imagine having to work with those two?').
    Nicole Paggi, the original Sydney, is almost nine years older than Megan Fox and therefore farther away from Sydney's own age.
    Confusingly, Faith Ford does not play the part of Faith.

Why Hope & Faith might not be annoying:

    It received a People's Choice Award nomination in its first season!.
    It was one of the key players in the brief revival of ABC's TGIF tradition of Friday-night sitcoms in the new millennium.
    Ironically, Ted has been considered the best thing about the show, which he did not enter late or midway into its run.
    Still ironically, Ripa is the one with the kids while Ford does not have any.
    A few daytime soap alumni have had guest roles.
    It did a spoof of Wife Swap, with Wynonna Judd guesting as the wife who traded places with Hope.
    Its creator was also a daytime soap actress.
