Premise

John Larroquette and Christine Baranski star as Peter and Annie Brennan, soon-to-be empty nesters who couldn't be happier about it. However, their joy is short-lived when their youngest son, Tim (Tyler Francavilla) flunks out of community college, forcing Peter and Annie to continue their parental duties. Their eldest son, Todd (Jeff Bryan Davis) decides to dump his fiancée only days before the wedding. Their daughter Sara (Melanie Paxson), despite having a successful career, struggles to find or keep a romantic partner and instead spends her time socializing with her parrot. If that isn't enough, after Tim drops out of college, he moves in with Maggie, a divorced middle-aged family friend and neighbor, and announces that they are dating. Peter and Annie are constantly trying to find time without the kids and their problems, but while attempting to maintain a happy family image, they end up more involved with their children more than ever.
