Try matching it against that of the main characters in "Almost Family," a Fox drama premiering Wednes- day, Oct. 2. From former "Parenthood" and "Friday Night Lights" executive producer Jason Katims, the show casts Brittany Snow ("Pitch Perfect") as a supposed only child who learns her fertility-doc - tor father (Oscar winner Timothy Hutton) used his sperm to conceive roughly 100 other offspring. Her once-best friend (Megalyn Echikunwoke, "Vixen") and an ex-Olympian (Emily Os - ment, "Young & Hungry") are among them, leaving the women to ponder their new relationships to one another — and potentially to many others. Noting that "we are living in a world now where while the available genetic test- ing just makes it possible for people to suddenly dis- cover the story of who they are is not the real story," series creator and fellow executive producer Annie Weisman ("Suburgatory") reasons the time seemed right "to tell a kind of un- conventional family story through it. Complex men being revealed to have done troubling things, we don't have a shortage of those events, either. "Another big theme in the show," adds Weisman, "is what it feels like from the point of view of this character that we get to explore his fall from grace ... and what it means to be someone who used to behave with a lot of power and impunity but, in the current climate, can't do that anymore because he's under a lot of scrutiny. And also, (the show deals with) what it means to be the daughter of someone like that, who had such admira- tion for someone and now is seeing them fall from that pedestal."
