What’s It All About? Sam Fox (Adlon) and her “very good, crazy house full of young girls kicking my ass.” Co-created by Adlon and Louis C.K., Better Things is inspired by Adlon’s real life as a divorced mom of three and her career performing cartoon voices (she voiced Bobby Hill on King of the Hill) and the occasional live-action project (she was Marcy Runkle on Californication). Sam’s life is never boring with her three daughters: rebellious teen Max (Madison), tween tomboy Frankie (Alligood) and attention-starved grade-schooler Duke (Edward). Better Things is a realistic and edgy depiction of parenthood and showbiz that Louie fans should love.
