DESCRIPTION:
(from ABC's press release) Never before has America been so divided politically. With the current President elected by a slim margin, the media goes on and on about the two opposing camps of citizens. And like many of the late night hosts have discovered, it's a gold mine for comedy. When liberal UC Berkeley Poli-Sci professor Kenny Blumenfeld and his wife have a new baby, his conservative Vietnam-vet father-in-law Red Callahan and his wife move in for a couple of months to help out. The clashing begins immediately as Kenny seems to represent everything Red thinks is terrible in a parent and Red provides every influence Kenny is trying to keep away from his children. Their respective wives do their best to keep these radically different men in line, but everyone realizes that the friction is not going to go away overnight. Things go from bad to worse when Red has a minor medical emergency and it looks like they're all going to be living together indefinitely. This fall, from the producers of "8 Simple Rules," only one comedy dares to ask, "Can the Red states and the Blue states live under one roof?" The answer is yes, but there will be fireworks every single night. |
