'Raising Hope' stars Martha Plimpton and Lucas Neff don't punch babies
If you think the premiere of "Raising Hope," was inappropriate, crass or too dark, stars Martha Plimpton and Lucas Neff would probably tell you to lighten up. They think their new series is downright gooey.
"The first episode ends with her singing a lullaby, for goodness sake," Plimpton tells Zap2it at a FOX fall premieres event. "How much softer do you want me to get?"
Well, she could start by filling in that hole in the bottom of her car, but clearly, all of the jokes at baby Hope's expense are smoke and mirrors. "I don't care what they told you," says Plimpton, "I did not punch that baby."
"A fist bump!" Neff chimes in.
And aside from more parenting pratfalls, the duo also shed some light on what else we'll see from in the series' freshman season, including more nudity from Cloris Leachman and additional scenes with Bijou Phillips.
Wasn't she executed in the first act? Well, yes. But she apparently they got their money's worth from her cameo before sending her on her way. Check out the full interview here:
(And that bit about more topless Cloris Leachman? Sarcasm. All she flashed was a smile.)

Martha Plimpton is outstanding. The cast chemistry is great. This show is going to be big. The wife and I laughed until it hurt. Thank you for such a great show.
WAVE bye-bye to this lame series. Child Protection filed charges for failing to be funny. What were the EXEC's thinking? Its simply not funny.
RAISING HOPEwas very funny.
I have not laughed this hard in a LONG time. Sadly, the hole in the car reminds me of my childhood. :-)
very funny, terrific cast (cute cute new guy neff) plimpton croons a great tune. Sly old Fox does it again.
Whoever says this show is not funny, has NO sense of humor. For a good laugh, they must usually watch Hannah Montana. This show is a riot! I look forward to watching all season long and telling everyone who needs a good laugh, to do the same!
this show is horrible. I have a baby and watching this show made me sick. It's not funny.
this show is marvelous! lol is so much fun - the stars are fantastic
This show is so funny. One of the best on TV in years. Obviously other people agree because it's back for a second season!!!
@Julie...lighten up. It's a sitcom not a documentary.
