Season 6 • Episode 15
LatestDiscovering that Kim listens to Christine and Jimmy listens to Greg, Greg and Christine take advantage and ally themselves to help each other get what they want.
A comedy about two young couples and their outrageously contrasting views on parenting. Greg and Kim Warner struggle on a daily basis to become perfect at the job. Kim is a neurotic, stay-at-home mother, and although her husband, Greg, is a success in his career, his more difficult job is keeping his wife calm as they raise their two young children. While Kim is determined to be the perfect mother and perfect wife and to raise the perfect children, her sister, Christine Hughes, a very down-to-earth mother of two, continually reminds her that life will never be perfect. Christine's husband, Jimmy, often feels compelled to share with his brother-in-law his philosophy about being a husband and a parent while still remaining a man.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Launched Greg Garcia toward My Name Is Earl and The Guest Book — this was his proof that working-class comedy could survive CBS's laugh track era.
The living-with-family premise was network-mandated; Garcia originally wanted them separate, making the claustrophobic tension accidentally authentic.
