Jim is a couch-potato dad and husband trying to achieve picket-fence ideals while keeping a firm hold on his manliness. His beautiful wife tolerates his childish antics because of his tireless loyalty to her and their three kids. Jim's penchant for taking the easy route in everything frequently backfires, landing him in comical situations.

Cheryl and Jim get into an argument about Erik Estrada, and Jim sets out to prove her wrong about an incident involving the actor 10 years earlier.

On his birthday, Jim accuses Cheryl of habitually choosing gifts intended to change him instead of to please him.

Cheryl thinks she is attending a lingerie party given by Andy's new girlfriend, then learns the hostess is selling sex toys.

Jim learns that his neighbor (Julie Newmar) has written a series of children's books, modeling a grumpy old man on him.
