{4.5\/5} “Nothing says family like squirting your 86 year-old grandmother in the face so she won’t hit your granddaughter with a fireplace poker.”<\/p>\n

Jimmy and Sabrina get married, Virginia and Burt act young because they’re feeling old, and Maw Maw gets taken away to a nursing home. Jimmy is shocked to discover that his parents once gave him up for adoption.<\/p>\n

Raising Hope<\/strong> season 3 finished about a month ago — I just didn’t realize that the last episode was the last episode.<\/p>\n

The previous 2 seasons<\/a>\u00a0are side-splittingly funny, and much of\u00a0season 3 is too. There were\u00a0a few episodes in the middle of the season, though,\u00a0that were just silly and not as clever.<\/p>\n

The wedding episode was filmed in the style of Modern Family<\/strong><\/a>, in a nice little crossover — they said Sabrina’s mom hired a camera crew to film the wedding.<\/p>\n

Gregg Binkley (the TV show My Name is Earl<\/strong>) plays Barney, the manager of the store where Jimmy and Sabrina work. Todd Giebenhain (Wrong<\/strong>) plays Frank, who also works at the store.<\/p>\n

Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future<\/strong>) is a very special guest star in one episode. Leslie Jordan (the TV show Boston Legal<\/strong>) guest stars as Pastor Bob. Melanie Griffith (Working Girl<\/strong>) plays Sabrina’s mom and Wilmer Valderrama (the TV show That ’70s Show<\/strong>) plays Sabrina’s mom’s boyfriend. Bijou Phillips (Havoc<\/strong>) plays Lucy, who somehow survived being electrocuted and being hit by a bus.<\/p>\n

Raising Hope<\/strong> will be back for a fourth season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
