Steven Wilde (Will Arnett) is incredibly rich, but he earned none of it. All he knows is how to squander it. Emmy Kadubic (Keri Russell) is an environmentalist and a mother to Puddle (Stefania Owen). Emmy is coming back from living in the jungle. Puddle is tired of it all so she's scheming to keep them from going back.Will Arnett is good as wacky guy. Keri Russell is lovely as a frustrated environmentalist. For a wacky sitcom, they've got pretty good chemistry. The little girl is cute and expressive. I think they were just missing 1 or 2 needed characters. It just feels underdeveloped.

Steven Wilde (Will Arnett) would seem to have every advantage in this world. Very wealthy, he lives in a posh mansion, has a friendly servant at his beck and call at all times, drives a knockout car and does very little work. A figurehead, mostly, at his father's oil company, Stevie is out drinking and partying a good deal of the time. But, ho, ho! Back into his life comes Emmy (Keri Russell), a childhood pal. She grew up in the mansion, being the daughter of the live-in housekeeper, before going to college and never looking back. Now, Emmy is an ecologist, with a young daughter nicknamed Puddle and a scientist beau. She has returned to try to persuade Steve's firm NOT to drill for petroleum in the habitat of the native South American tribe she has been aiding. Secretly, these two, Steve and Emmy, were once in young love, making this return a head-turning event for both of them. Steve asks for time and cajoles Emmy into working at the firm, where they can untangle the problems together. Against her better judgment, Emmy accepts. She and Puddle even move into the elaborate treehouse on the property. But, all too soon, Emmy's left-behind-guy shows up, wanting the score, along with other various issues. Can the egocentric playboy and the pretty ecologist rekindle a love fire and help save the world? Maybe! This viewer wanted to see this series when it was broadcast but work conflicts put a damper on it. Now, its on one disk, joy of joys, to entertain its target audience, women. No, its storyline and scripts aren't the greatest but Arnett and Russell are pure joys in their roles and the supporting cast is quite nice. Also, the sets and costumes are wonderful while the passionate tug-of-war between Steve and Emmy are just what the love doctor ordered for those yearning for on-screen romantic comedy. Why not run wild tonight, females, and buy this DVD, with sides of pizza and popcorn?

I love this show! the combination of wit and charm on arnett's behalf is wonderful along with the whole cast. this show out-did my original opinion. Sadly shows like Running Wilde and Arrested Development are not nearly as popular as they should be and I blame advertising. With great shows like this you splurge on advertising and this show evidently did not. a small downfall leads to big regret, sadly this show has been cancelled. I just need to repeat. WILL ARNETT: your shows are hilarious! give them a chance and advertise! I didn't even know about this until hulu showed it on my recommendations list and i regret not watching it sooner!!!

I love Will Arnett who is fabulous as the wealthy guy whose love of his life is played by Keri Russell. Arnett is fabulous as the wealthy but lonely billionaire who lives well-off on a fabulous estate. Emmy is the love of his life played by Keri Russell who lives in the jungle and tries to improve the world with her daughter, Puddle, what a name. Her daughter does a very good job as somebody who wants to escape the jungle and live in civilization. So Emmy reluctantly accepts an invitation where Arnett's character is throwing a party for himself as humanitarian of the year by his own company. Anyway, there are moments when Arnett has what it takes to be a big television star in his own right. Keri Russell is fine as Emmy and the supporting cast does a fine job which includes a neighboring Arab billionaire who has must time and money on his hands as Arnett's character and his assistant and chauffeur as well.
