“Odd Mom Out,” Bravo’s first scripted comedy, is a grownup version of The CW’s “Gossip Girl” – there’s an outsider battling with becoming an insider on Manhattan’s Upper East Side – with a hint of Bravo’s first scripted series, “Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce.”

It’s a well-produced comedy without a laugh track. Thanks for that. But the humor strives to be sharper than it actually is. None of the jokes are particularly inspired, but they serve the purposes of the show. You may not laugh out loud or gasp, which they seem to be going for at times, but you might be entertained just enough to avoid boredom.

It’s fine, but I’m not sold. “Girlfriends’ Guide” has more going for it than this show does. It’s great to see Joanna Cassidy in anything, though.

Verdict: OK

Odd Mom Out is Bravo’s new original 10-episode scripted half-hour comedy set to premiere on June 8, 2015. The series stars acclaimed author and fashionista Jill Kargman playing a version of herself as she navigates the treacherous and elite ecosystem of New York’s Upper East Side, and the uber-wealthy mommy clique inhabiting this fantastically outrageous domain.

A New Yorker through and through, Jill Weber (Kargman) embraces her quirky and somewhat unconventional life with her loving husband, Andy Weber (Andy Buckley, The Office), three great kids, and a best friend who shares the same love for donuts and snarky retorts, Vanessa Wrigley (KK Glick, College Humor). However, the posh and decadent world of Andy’s classically blue-blooded family slowly takes over as Jill valiantly tries to resist all the delicious temptations and perks their wealth can afford. From accepting her in-laws’ aristocratic, and perhaps cloudy, legacy to interviewing for a family burial plot at the most prestigious cemetery, Jill constantly battles staying true to herself while weighing the benefits of fitting in. Jill’s frenemies and in-laws only fuel the pressure for her to conform, including the status-obsessed Weber family matriarch, Candace (Joanna Cassidy, Six Feet Under), brother-in-law Lex (Sean Kleier, Madam Secretary) and his wife, Brooke (Abby Elliott, Saturday Night Live), who reigns over a group of quintessential Upper East Side mombots with an iron credit card.
