(And especially by grandchildren.) Sharon feeds her new husband in bed like he's an invalid, but she's not-so-secretly pining for Andrea's father. If parents like this actually exist, they should be locked away, never to be seen by anyone. So even if you hop in halfway through a season (though why would you do that) you'll never feel lost.Įxcept, maybe, for Andrea's relationship with her divorced parents Sharon (Kathy Baker) and Martin (Martin Mull). And Mike getting into the game and occasionally trying out his own material on his wife - to varying degrees of success - is a very real thing.Įach episode is pretty encapsulated, with elements bleeding from one half-hour to the next.
