I'm with Her is an American sitcom which aired for one season (2003-2004) on ABC.

The story is about Alex Young (Teri Polo), who is a popular movie actress and her boyfriend Patrick Owen (David Sutcliffe), who is a high school English teacher.

From writers Marco Pennette (creator of "Caroline in the City") and Chris Henchy ("Spin City") comes a romantic comedy about wish fulfillment and unexpected love. "I'm with Her" tells the story of an average guy who meets and begins dating a not-so-average woman - who happens to be a world-renowned movie star.

The series, loosely based on Henchy's relationship with Brooke Shields, begins on that chance meeting. Patrick Owen (David Sutcliffe, "Gilmore Girls"), a down-to-earth and dedicated high school teacher, grabs a cup of coffee with his best friend and fellow teacher Stevie (Danny Comden), when he's bitten by love... literally. The gnashing jaws of a dog are deeply embedded in his rear. The owner of the dog is famous movie star Alex Young (Teri Polo, "Meet the Parents," "The Practice," "Sports Night"). Over her apologies, Patrick recognizes Alex's famous face and makes light of the situation. In a move that would make every man weak in the knees, Alex writes her number down on Patrick's hand... for any medical costs incurred. She walks away, leaving Patrick awestruck, dumbstruck and completely smitten.

Despite the incessant pleading of Stevie to call her, Patrick feels that Alex is out of his league - way out of his league. He dates teachers, and it should probably stay that way.

Back at Alex's house, her overprotective and cynical sister, Cheri (Rhea Seehorn), panics about the dog biting and how Alex could give a complete stranger their phone number. Alex is not as suspicious, and maybe even hopeful he'll call. Cheri thinks it's a bad idea for Alex to be interested in a "civilian" (someone not in the biz).

But fate and chemistry prove stronger than perceived impressions, and Alex and Patrick begin dating. Patrick is unprepared for the chaos that comes with Alex. He loses his anonymity, is stalked by paparazzi and jeopardizes his job. All of which makes him wonder - Is it possible to find true love under the hot spotlight of the media?

"I'm with Her" stars Teri Polo as Alex Young, David Sutcliffe as Patrick Owen, Danny Comden as Stevie Johannson and Rhea Seehorn as Cheri.

Pennette and Henchy, who co-created the series, are the executive producers along with "Smallville's" Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins and Joe Davola, and Jack Burditt (award-winning writer, "Mad About You," "Frasier"). "I'm with Her," which is filmed before an audience, is from Tollin/Robbins Productions and Warner Bros. Television Production Inc.
