A to Z is a romantic comedy series that premiered on NBC in the fall of 2014. The show stars Cristin Milioti and Ben Feldman in the lead roles with the supporting cast including Henry Zebrowski, Lenora Crichlow, Christina Kirk, Katey Sagal, Hong Chau, and Parvesh Cheena.

The show is narrated by Katey Sagal, who provides a whimsical and humorous voiceover throughout each episode. The premise of the series centers around the concept that destiny is real and that everyone has a specific timeline that they will follow. The series explores the idea of fate and whether or not there is such a thing as a perfect match.

The two main characters are Andrew (Ben Feldman) and Zelda (Cristin Milioti). Andrew is a young and idealistic entrepreneur who owns a tech company. He is driven and ambitious, but he is also a bit of a hopeless romantic. Zelda is a smart and driven attorney who takes her job seriously. She takes pride in her work and doesn't have time for relationships. The two meet one another by chance and are instantly attracted to one another.

From there, the series follows their relationship from its magnificent beginning to its inevitable end. Each episode is framed by a letter of the alphabet, as the show explores every aspect of their relationship, from A to Z. The show's creators, Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, aimed to show how real relationships can be, complete with their ups and downs, the good times and bad, and everything in between.

To add some humor to the series, Andrew has a group of friends who are just as wacky as he is. His best friend, Stu (Henry Zebrowski), is a loud and often crass womanizer who is never at a loss for words. Stephie (Lenora Crichlow), Andrew's other friend, is a sympathetic and caring person who often acts as the voice of reason. Lora (Christina Kirk) works with Andrew at his tech company and is also his ex-girlfriend, adding an additional layer of drama to the story.

The series also explores the relationships of the supporting characters, adding to the overall theme of the show. Lydia (Hong Chau) is Zelda's assistant who is more like a best friend. Howard (Parvesh Cheena) is Andrew's assistant who is always there to offer a listening ear.

One of the strengths of the show is its witty writing and clever use of language. The show's creators manage to turn even the mundane aspects of relationships into something quirky and unique. The show is also visually pleasing, with each episode featuring a unique color palette that is tailored to the episode's theme.

The show received positive reviews from critics, who praised its writing, acting, and overall charm. Sadly, the show was canceled after just one season, leaving many fans disappointed and wanting more.

In conclusion, A to Z is a charming romantic comedy that explores the many facets of relationships. The show's witty writing and clever use of language make it stand out from other shows in the same genre. While the show may have been short-lived, its impact on those who watched it will certainly last forever.

A to Z is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (13 episodes). The series first aired on October 2, 2014.
