Just as they are about to have sex for the very first time, Kate (Christa Miller) and Drew (Drew Carey) get into a huge argument. Figuring that there is too much pressure on both of them to perform, the couple subsequently works overtime to be "spontaneous". Alas, this strategy is scuttled thanks to the omnipresence of Drew's pet dog Speedy. And if that wasn't bad enough, Drew manages to trip over Speedy and sprain his...well, let's just say he sprains a Vital Organ. Meanwhile, Mimi (Kathy Kinney) becomes so emotionally overwrought while taking hormones to get pregnant that she can't even work up a good insult. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Mimi (Kathy Kinney) gives birth to her baby son, just as Drew (Drew Carey) emerges from his coma. Once the baby is home, he refuses to stop crying unless Drew picks him up. Real dad Steve (John Carroll Lynch) isn't too happy about this, and is even less thrilled about being exiled from his own house until he recovers from strep throat. As for Drew, he doesn't mind being a surrogate daddy--though he recoils at the prospect of having to hold the baby while it is being breast-fed! Meanwhile, Lewis becomes convinced that he isn't long for this world, which is the only logical reason that he has decided to wander around butt-naked. (Trivia note: Mimi's baby is named King Augustus Antonio Carey, or "Gus" for short--the result of a contest conducted over aol.com). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The Wonder Years met Malcolm in the Middle in this Fox network sitcom set in the early '60s. Grant Rosenmeyer starred as 11-year-old Oliver Beene, a budding intellectual and inveterate cut-up mired in a world of eccentric relatives, spiteful teachers, and mercurial females. Oliver's dad, Jerry (Grant Shaud), was a dentist who liked to spend his off-hours either drilling teeth for fun or talking about it; his mom, Charlotte (Wendy Makkena), was a neat-freak who wished she was Jackie Kennedy; and his brother, Ted (Andrew Lawrence), was a self-involved sports nut, his ear perennially glued to his transistor radio. Things weren't much better at school, where Oliver was bedeviled by venom-spouting teacher Mrs. Heller (Annie Korzen), ardently pursued by moonstruck classmate Joyce (Daveigh Chase), and studiously ignored by red-haired beauty Bonnie (Amy Castle). On the other hand, Oliver enjoyed the company of his best friends, chubby Neal (Ben Bookbinder) and closeted-homosexual Michael (Taylor Emerson). Like The Wonder Years, this series was narrated from the vantage point of the future by the leading character. Oliver Beene debuted March 9, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
