Maybe It's Me is an American television comedy series that aired on The WB Network. It first aired on October 5, 2001,[1] and ended on May 3, 2002. The series was created and executive produced by Suzanne Martin, a former writer of Frasier and Ellen.

Premise

The series was centered on the life of teenager Molly Stage (Reagan Dale Neis) and her eccentric and often-embarrassing family, including her parents (insanely frugal mom, played by Julia Sweeney, and soccer-obsessed dad, played by Fred Willard), her two older brothers, her little twin sisters, and her grandparents. Over the course of the series Molly dealt with many situations in which her family embarrassed her on numerous occasions. Not alone in her perils, she had her best friend Mia (Vicki Davis) by her side who had insane crush on Grant (Patrick Levis), Molly's older brother who is a born-again Christian. While her oldest, self-absorbed brother Rick (Andrew Walker) constantly got into trouble.

Original series title

During the network's upfront presentation that season, the show was originally titled Maybe I'm Adopted,[2] but following negative feedback, the show was re-titled. The show was unique in that it featured pop-up graphics on the screen.
