"Hangovers" - (9:30-10:00 p.m. ET) (TV-PG, L) (HDTV)

When Astrid (Meaghan Rath) and James (Aaron Abrams) wake up hungover, all they want to do is lay down in a quiet dark room. To have the day to themselves, they decide to let Felix (Logan Nicholson) and Viv (Mikayla SwamiNathan) be on their screens all day. There's only one problem: The internet is down. And the kids are bored. Adding to their pounding headaches, their chaotic neighbor Rachel (Anna Hopkins) and her kids come over, requiring even more energy from Astrid and James. And Rachel refuses to leave. Or stop talking. The episode was written by Andrew De Angelis and directed by Kurt Smeaton (#308). Original airdate 2/29/2024.

DESCRIPTION:
(from The CW's web site, January 2024) Created by Golden Globe® and Emmy® Award-winner Kurt Smeaton (“Schitt’s Creek”), CHILDREN RUIN EVERYTHING is a half hour comedy that follows Astrid (Meaghan Rath, “Being Human,” “Hawaii Five-0”) and James (Aaron Abrams, “Blindspot,” “Hannibal”), as they raise their two young children in the city, while struggling to hold onto their pre-kid life. Illustrating the hilarious and varied ways kids can wreck happiness, alter plans, annihilate goals and dreams, and force parents to re-invent their lives, the series also explores how maybe that re-invented life is somewhat okay, too. Nowhere near as good as that old, really great life. But still kind of nice. The series also stars Ennis Esmer (“Blindspot,” “Schitt’s Creek”), Nazneen Contractor (“Ransom,” “Heroes Reborn”), Logan Nicholson (“Blues Clues and You”), Mikayla SwamiNathan, Dmitry Chepovetsky (“Killjoys,” “Departure”), Veena Sood (“Corner Gas Animated,” “The Indian Detective”), Lisa Codrington (“Letterkenny,” “Anne With an E”), and Darius Rota. CHILDREN RUIN EVERYTHING is from award-winning New Metric Media. Chuck Tatham (“Modern Family,” “Arrested Development,” “How I Met Your Mother”), multiple Canadian Screen Award-winner Mark Montefiore (“Letterkenny,” “Shoresy”) and Meaghan Rath are executive producers, with Alyson Richards (“The Retreat”) serving as producer. The series is produced by New Metric Media in association with Bell Media’s CTV, with the participation of the Canada Media Fund and Bell Fund.
