NBC, 2002-2003

In this domestic comedy from the producers of Frasier, newlyweds Matt (Elon Gold) and Alex (Bonnie Somerville) move in with her parents to save money so Matt can attend cooking school, forever changing the dynamics of this loving family.

The challenges are great as Matt clashes with Victor Pellet (Dennis Farina), his overprotective, gruff father-in-law. A self-made man, Victor owns a private security firm and routinely takes offense at every turn -- making the boxed-in Matt feel more like an outlaw than an in-law. Meanwhile, Marlene (Jean Smart), Matt's sleek mother-in-law, trades in her designer apron for a real-estate license. Alex, works as a nurse when she's not mediating between her father and husband.

Misunderstandings and hair-trigger relationships all make for an unruly yet loving household –- and a rocky start for the exasperated Matt and Alex, who knows how to handle her father yet finds herself walking the fine line between being "Daddy’s little girl" and a new wife.
