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.
Jim buys a nanny-cam to spy on the sitter he did not want to hire but learns something about Cheryl instead, prompting her to buy a camera of her own.
To make Cheryl feel desirable, Jim fakes a jealous rage in a restaurant and tries to teach Dana's date to do the same, but the lesson backfires when Dana fears her new beau is paranoid and possessive.
Jim advises Ryan (Mitch Rouse) on how to deal with fluctuating hormones when he announces that Dana is expecting.
As a talk-show guest, Jim angers Cheryl by expressing the view that men should not let women feminize them.
