Synopsis: When Bobby O'Neil (Reid Scott) gets engaged to Liz (Maggie Lawson), the 'traditional' meeting of the parents is anything but. Not since Romeo declared his love for Juliet have two families struggled harder to get along.

From the writers of Frasier and the producers of "Chicago" comes this original, sophisticated comedy that explores modern love and relationships, albeit with a Hatfield-McCoy twist!

Bobby works in the Boston pub that his father, Mason "Mace" O'Neil (Lenny Clarke), owns and operates, and where mom, Audrey (Harriet Sansom Harris), helps out along with Maddy (Paige Moss), Bobby's feisty sister. They are a traditional, hardworking, close-knit Irish Catholic family.

Liz attends Harvard, is Protestant and knows a lot about art and culture. So, what's not to love about a girl with these credentials? Well, Liz has not one but TWO dads. She's been raised since infancy by art gallery owner Philip (John Benjamin Hickey) and his life partner, Simon (Christopher Sieber), a school teacher.

How Mace, this stubborn, meat-and-potatoes Archie Bunker of the new millennium, will find anything in common with the well-heeled and equally obstinate Philip is anybody's guess. Audrey and Simon do what they can to keep their spouses focused on the real issue -- that their kids have chosen to marry each other. And at the risk of alienating this young couple, they'd better find a way to blend these two completely opposite families.

Bobby and Liz break the news of their secret engagement to their families and each gets a less than warm response. In fact, Bobby's conversation with his folks ends with him moving into Liz's parents' guest house. Naturally, this doesn't thrill Philip and Simon, but at the risk of losing Liz completely, they agree to the situation temporarily until Bobby can work things out with his parents.

When a client unexpectedly gives Philip tickets to a Red Socks game, Bobby sees it as an opportunity for family bonding and convinces Philip and Simon to invite Mace. But Mace's idea of how to watch a ballgame is quite different from Philip's and Simon's. Meanwhile, Liz tags along with the O'Neil women to a basement sale that's more like a battlefield.
