The show focused on the daily trials and tribulations of columnist Barry (Harry Anderson) of the fictional Miami Record-Dispatch, his wife Beth (DeLane Matthews), and their sons Tommy (Zane Carney) and Willie (Andrew Ducote), though the real Dave only had one son at that time. Dave's editor and best friend, Kenny Beckett, was played by Shadoe Stevens. Meshach Taylor played Dave's other friend, Sheldon Baylor. J.C. Wendel and Patrick Warburton also co-starred.
[edit] Setting/Background
