Season 1 From the executive producer of
Seinfeld and
The Larry Sanders Show comes this outrageous and neurotic comedy, starring Robert Lindsay and Zoë Wanamaker! Ben (Robert Lindsay), a dentist, and Susan (Zoë Wanamaker), the worst cook in thaw world, are certainly loving, caring parents; they just have a hard time showing it. Not that their kids make it easy: Nick has serious issues with the concept of work; Janet, like any other normal teenager, lives in her own soap opera life; and Michael likes to show up every once in a while with the odd pet rabbit. When Ben becomes paranoid that Susan and Janey are seeing another dentist, and Nick comes up with a hair-brained scheme for dating girls, it may just be that Michael's rabbit is the sanest member of the household.

Season 2 The Harpers are back, and their attempts at domestic bliss have hardly improved.
