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.

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 develops a friendship with Dana's new boyfriend, despite the fact that the guy dumped Cheryl years ago.

Jim chickens out of having a vasectomy, but Cheryl is so effusive in her praise that he is unable to admit that he did not go through with it.
