Move over, Kardashians–there’s a new family in town, and it appears, at least with the first episode, that they carry a lot less drama.

“Mrs. Eastwood & Company” stars Dina Eastwood, the wife of Clint Eastwood, as well as their daughters Morgan and Francesca, Francesca’s famous photographer boyfriend Tyler Shields, Dina’s brother Dominic, the Eastwoods’ housekeeper Lisa, and Overtone, the South African vocal group Dina and Dominic manage.

What is great about the first episode is how simple the problems are–Morgan wants to get a belly button piercing, but Dina is against it; Francesca is afraid of babies and is forced to help Dominic with his new baby boy in order to get over her fear. Compare this to “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” which has paternity tests, clothing store drama, martial woes and more. For right now, “Mrs. Eastwood & Company” feels like a fun sitcom, something that doesn’t leave you drained after viewing it.

To be fair, this is just the first episode of the first season of “Mrs. Eastwood & Company.” The preview of the rest of the season promise drama, but I don’t think it’ll be to the level of the Kardashians.

You can watch the premiere of “Mrs. Eastwood & Company” tomorrow at 10/9c on E!
