GET TO KNOW

Can a family of small-time criminals go legit? Scoundrels tells the story of the Wests, who are
forced to change their lifestyle after the man of the house gets sent to the big house. Cheryl,
loving mother and devoted wife, will do everything she can to keep her family together and on the
straight and narrow.

Scoundrels stars Virginia Madsen as Cheryl West; David James Elliott as Wolfgang \"Wolf\" West;
Patrick Flueger as Logan West/Calvin \"Cal\" West; Leven Rambin as Heather West; Vanessa Marano as
Hope West and Carlos Bernard as Sergeant Mack.

Scoundrels is produced by ABC Studios and is based on a New Zealand series entitled Outrageous
Fortune. Lyn Greene & Richard Levine (Nip/Tuck) and Francie Calfo serve as executive producers. John
Barnett, whose company, South Pacific Pictures, produces the New Zealand series, is also an
executive producer. Co-executive producers are Michael Larkin, Michael Goldstein, Bruce Cervi and
John Lansing.

Thank you for the description sazzadrobo and thank you to LOL and eztv of course

Let's hope the the US version will prove better than the disappointing UK attempt with the ghastly
Amanda Redman!

Since no one else has offered an opinion, I'll chip in. It's not a terrible show but it's not life-changing in any
way; mostly just summer fluff. It was moderately funny and the characters are decent. My only complaint
is that there are too many storylines, but maybe that's just the pilot. I'm not too attached to the show, but
it was a good watch. This seems like something that would have been slated for ABC Family and got
bumped up to primetime for the summer.

I have to say I enjoyed it. For anyone who liked the show "EASY MONEY" starring Laurie Metcalf which
was about a family who run a high interest loan service, this should be right up your street. Both shows
seem to have the similar themes - based around the mother, large family, dealing with money in
gray/dodgy areas.

Since Easy Money was cancelled after a few episodes, I hope this lasts longer.

I liked this show and thought the several plots were perfect for it.

It's certainly better than those "Not Another Vampire" show/movie.

as you know this is a totally Americanized version of "Outrageous Fortune" (Made in New Zealand)
It still has some of the good bits and its interesting to see the difference. but i highly recommend
the original to this remake.
How ever if you cant get your hands on Outrageous Fortune this is ok.

I've seen Honest, and frankly, I don't need another remake.
