US cable channel Bravo is promising a show "more real than traditional sitcoms and more imaginative than reality shows" when it premieres a new improvised comedy, Significant Others, in March.

The six-episode series features actors and comedians who literally script themselves as they look at marriage and the pros and cons of being in a long-term, committed relationship.

Bravo's president, Jeff Gaspin, said:

"Significant Others is the kind of comedy you’d expect to find on Bravo where edginess and creativity thrive. We feel this series is funny, relatable and it is groundbreaking television that exemplifies the artistic freedom granted by this medium."
