Stuey Mandelker 001 [1.01-97] Pilot Tony DiMeo, a free-lance sportswriter and recently separated dad of two daughters, learns that his teenage daughter has been ditching school for two weeks because she doesn't like it there - she wants to go back to her old school. When the sports column, which his employer Carmen has sent by e-mail, hasn't arrived he has to overcome his computer angst and has to face the fact that he might have to resend it alone.

Voice of Announcer and Editor 002 [1.02-97] Wired Tony's plan to stay on a strict schedule ends up in a shambles when he's thrown off track by a minor kitchen disaster, two feuding kids and Carmen's lunch date. [TV Guide] Directed by: Written by : Guest Cast : Emilio Borelli .................. Phil the Plumber 003 [1.03-97] Your Guest Host ... Tony DiMeo Tony gets the chance to host a radio sports talk show. But sports isn't the topic - instead he is forced into talking about his personal life and especially about Tina, who wants to have her nose pierced. His first time on air is a fiasco, now the second time Karl Malone as guest should help making it better. But again, he ends up talking about Tina's - now infected - nose. Stuey despairs of Mickey who seems to be a better doorman than he when she's tipped all the time.

Meanwhile, Stuey recruits the DiMeo kids in a lucrative Halloween venture, unbeknownst to Tony: an escort service to insure the door-to-door safety of hundreds of little costume-clad trick-or-treaters. [TV Guide and Ultimate TV] 005 [1.05-97] The Milk Run It's nine months after Tony's seperation from his wife, time again to re-enter the dating game. That's Carmen's and Frank's point of view, but not exactly Tony's. His main concern are the girls who he thinks may object. Reluctantly - with telling the girl he goes to buy some milk - he accompanies Frank to a single bar where he indeed meets someone. At home Mickey and Tina watch videos with the time-slice method: everyone gets ten minutes - then the cassettes are changed.
