is an American television series created and written by Emily Kapnek and co-produced with Michael Fresco for Warner Bros. Television. The series debuted as a Fall 2011 entry on ABC, where it airs Wednesday nights at 8:30/7:30 Central. It debuted September 28, 2011. It is a portmanteau of the words "suburban" and "purgatory".
The series follows a handsome, middle-aged single father George Altman, who is doing his best to raise his sixteen-year-old daughter Tessa in an apartment located in the big city and providing for her with his job as an architect. He has been raising her on his own ever since his wife decided to pull an unexpected "Kramer vs. Kramer" before Tessa was potty-trained. Though, Tessa is now all grown up and George discovers a box of condoms in her bedroom drawer so he then decides the time has come to move her to a more wholesome and nurturing environment: the suburbs. Tessa perfectly enjoyed the urban jungle of New York City, but the greener pastures George threw her into appear to be a unique version of hell to her.
But behind the beautiful cookie-cutter homes and overly-tended lawns lurk the non-working Franken-mothers, their spray-on tan,. their big lips and little nose jobs. The synchronized sprinkler systems that all erupt at the exact same time. Purse dogs. Botox, fake boobs. Big hair. Jogging strollers. Designer-label clothing. Worst of all is their electronic-wired, Sugar Free Red Bull-guzzling teens who have nothing in common with Tessa, who think her grungy attire and motorcycle boots show lesbianism. It’s a whole new world, one that makes George wonder if they haven’t jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.
