About the Show

In "Rita Rocks," Nicole Sullivan stars as Rita Clemens, an overworked wife and mother in the middle of a full-blown identity crisis — which includes trying to maintain romance with her husband Jay (Richard Ruccolo), juggling the demands of her nine-year-old daughter, Shannon (Kelly Gould), and disciplining her defiant teenage daughter Hallie (Natalie Dreyfuss) and her ever-present boyfriend Kip (Raviv Ullman). After being passed over for a promotion at work, Rita is at her wit’s end. In search of "youthful" Rita, she dusts off her old guitar and forms a garage band with her nosy postal carrier Patty (Tisha Campbell-Martin) and unemployed neighbor Owen (guest star Ian Gomez), in the hopes of putting that spark back in her life.

Hey Cmelton925 and bee123, like i've mentioned before....if you do not like the show...then DON'T ****ING WATCH IT! eriously does it take more than two brains to figure that out. Your brain should tell you "wow this show is terrible. im gonna change to another channel." or, "im not gonna watch this show. life goes on." But ohhh no. I forgot you both dont have any brains now do you? It doesnt matter if any of you dont like it. It's getting Pretty good ratings. The actors are getting paid while you sit at your computer and bash the show. And forget ****ing Goldn Girls!! The show ended years ago. you cmelton are probably some crankly, lonely, 87 year old **** who watched The Golden Girls to feel better about yourself. Shutup and go watch it on Hallmark where it should've gone to when the show first started, in 600 B.C.

THIS SHOW SUCKS! This woman is an idiot! I guess lifetime wants to loose all its loyal fans for bringing on this type of trashy, low-down programming and swap off Golden Girls to hallmark..do not see the logic here. I will never ever watch this show and im not the least bit intrested in the dumb broad that plays rita.. TAKE IT OFF NOW LIFETIME!

This might sound odd, but I'm desperate! On an upcoming episode, there is a black and white blanket on the bed. It is a Don Quixote by Pablo Picasso and I want...no, I NEED this blanket! You see, I was 15 when my mom bought this bedding set for me, and I took it with me every time I moved. It became my daughter's blanket when she was a baby, and took it with her everywhere while growing up! Her 26th birthday is this month, and I have been searching for this blanket for a year now, since the origional one didn't make it after all it's washings. Can anyone tell me how I can get this blanket? Can I have the one from the set? Or can someone direct me to where I can get this for my new grandson? Thanks...a desperate Nana...

Oh, I'm so sad...I found the episode...Jay was sick in bed with a cold...Rita came in the room...explained that she was shopping two weeks after giving birth...I took a closer look at the bedding...it is white with black print...at closer inspection, it is not the Pablo Picasso's Don Quixote print I was searching for, but it sure did look like it. After years of searching for this bedding, I was THIS CLOSE to finding it...Thank you for responding. You're a doll. The search continues. If you want to get rid of THAT bedding, I'd be happy to take it off your hands! lol I just LOVE Nicole...always have, always will.

I love this show and Nicole Sullivan! I hope the ratings for this show are off the charts!! Also, they should put the "Somebody To Worry About" music video on iTunes along with the song! This show needs a soundtrack bad!! Rita truly does rock!!

I'm a big fan of Nicole Sullivan from MadTV and Kim Possible. I was excited to hear that she was starring in a new series. But then I watched an episode (I guess it was the series premier; in it she decides to bring down her old guitar and play it for the first time in decades). I hope the series does well, but I don't have high hopes. Sullivan is at her best in comic villian roles, like the Vancome Lady, Darlene McBride, and Shego (the latter in Kim Possible). This series' Rita character is not one that shows Sullivan's strength. Even as a big fan of hers, I was bored. What Nicole Sullivan needs is a role as hilarious comic villian.

I LOVE this show. It's SO nice to have a clean, funny show on TV. One that isn't just about sex or a husband and wife that never get along. I hope this show stays on TV for a long long time! The cast is great!!!

Near the end of the credits it list the song as "Somebody to worry about" by Kathleen Wilhoit. I've also searched and cannot find it though.

i searched also, couldn't find the song but i did find the artist you were talking about you spelled her name wrong--you missed the "e" at the end of her last name..if it is her song it might be a new recording and not released yet. if you find it let me know....

I absolutely love this show! Watch it every time it comes on! I was wondering though, what is the name of the song that she sang last night at the very end. "someone to worry about" Can i find it online to listen to? Or can i but the cd somewhere?
