Denver family counselor Bill Pearson spends most of his days trying to settle family squabbles ... and then he has to go into work. Actually, compared to some of the dysfunctional people who parade through his office, Bill's at-home brood is pretty normal and down to earth. Susan, his wife, is a stay-at-home mom, but even so she has her hands full with teenage daughter Lauren, high school jock and video-game enthusiast Trent and their musically gifted kid brother, Bryan, a neat freak. Outside the home, one of Bill's best friends, Paul DuFrayne, a hair-replacement specialist who is a mite jealous of what he perceives as Bill and Susan's domestic bliss, shares the professional building where Bill works.
