The Guest Book is an American television sitcom that aired on TBS from August 2017 to December 2018. Created by Greg Garcia, the series followed a different group of vacationers each week as they checked into a mountain cabin and interacted with each other and the cabin's caretakers. Kellie Martin played Officer Kimberly Leahy, a local police officer who frequently dropped by the cabin to investigate various incidents.

The format of the show was unique, as each episode told a self-contained story of a different group of guests who arrived at the cabin. Over the course of the series, we met a diverse group of characters, including a family that brought their grandfather's ashes to spread at his favorite spot, a couple going through a divorce, and a group of college friends trying to relive their glory days. While the guests were all different, they had one thing in common: they would all leave something behind in the cabin's guest book.

The show was notable for its strong supporting cast, including Charlie Robinson as Wilfred, the lovable and perpetually horny caretaker of the cabin, and Lou Wilson as his dimwitted assistant, Eddie. The guests were played by a rotating cast of actors, including Jenna Fischer, Danny Pudi, Michaela Watkins, and Jaime Pressly.

In addition to its humor, The Guest Book was also notable for its exploration of deeper themes. Many of the episodes dealt with issues of family, loneliness, and regret. For example, one episode followed a couple on the verge of divorce, who discovered that their time at the cabin could be an opportunity to rediscover what brought them together in the first place. Another episode dealt with the aftermath of a mass shooting, as a group of survivors came to the cabin to get away from it all.

Overall, The Guest Book was a well-crafted, funny, and thought-provoking show that explored a wide range of characters and themes. Kellie Martin's performance as Officer Leahy provided a grounded and relatable anchor for the series, and the rotating cast of guest stars kept things fresh and exciting from week to week. Fans of sitcoms and character-driven dramas alike will find something to love in The Guest Book.

The Guest Book is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (20 episodes). The series first aired on August 3, 2017.
