[edit] Airing changes
In spring 2004, CBS canceled the program, but later ordered 13 episodes for midseason. After canceling Center of the Universe, CBS began airing the new Yes, Dear episodes on Wednesday, February 16, 2005 at 9:30 p.m. EST. CBS ordered an additional season of 22 episodes for 2005–2006, but that order was later cut to 13.
During the second half of 2004, reruns aired on the cable station TBS at 1:00 p.m. As of January 2005, TBS began airing the show at 3:00 p.m. The show aired in local syndication in 2005–06; in the fall of 2006, 20th Television, the syndication subsidiary of 20th Century Fox, took the show out of barter syndication and replaced it with Still Standing. As of March 3, 2010 the show can be be seen on weekdays at 1:00 P.M. and 1:30 P.M. on TBS.
[edit] Plot synopsis
Greg Warner (Clark) is a motion picture executive and Kim Warner (Kelly) is a stay-at-home mother to Sam and later Emily. Kim's sister Christine Hughes (Snyder) and her husband Jimmy Hughes (O'Malley) along with their two sons, Dominic (Joel Homan) and Logan (Brendon Baerg), live in the Warners' guest house, where the family's easygoing approach to life in general contrasted with the more uptight and fussy demeanor of Greg. The plots revolved around child rearing, work (especially after Greg got Jimmy a job as the movie studio's security guard), and sex, and often involved various combinations of the four plotting against the others.
Late in the fifth season, the Hughes family finally earned enough money to move out of the guest house and buy the house next door, though they put a Mustang on blocks in the front yard. Meanwhile, Greg quits his job following his company's takeover by a new corporation and the firing of his boss, the overbearing but decent Mr. Savitsky.
After Greg is unable to find new work and toxic mold is discovered in their home, the Warners are forced to move in with the Hughes family early in the sixth season. Eventually, Savitsky latches onto a Japanese movie studio and rehires Greg, and the Warners are able to move back into their home. In the final scene of the series, an earthquake strikes Los Angeles; the Warners' home receives minimal damage, but the Hughes family is apparently not so lucky, as they show up at the Warners' front door asking if the guest house is still available.
