In the first episode of a two-part story, Carla (Rhea Perlman) and Eddie (Jay Thomas) have decided to get married. Unfortunately, Eddie happens to see Carla just before the wedding, causing the superstitious side of her nature to kick in (she's now convinced that if they don't wed exactly at the appointed hour, they'll have to wait another 55 years). Other obstacles to the couple's connubial bliss are their respective relatives -- not to mention the mood swings of Rebecca (Kirstie Alley), who is nervously launching a campaign to impress her boss Evan Drake. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Carla (Rhea Perlman) is worried that her teenage son Anthony (Timothy Williams) is contemplating marriage. She prevails upon Sam to convince Anthony that there is far more fun in bachelorhood.

Future Twin Peaks co-star Sherilyn Fenn is seen as Gabrielle. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Jack Butler (Michael Keaton) is a Detroit automobile engineer unjustly fired by his boss. Jack's wife Caroline (Teri Garr) is compelled to get a job to make ends meet, and is soon hired on as an advertising executive in a firm run by the shifty Ron Richardson (Martin Mull. This leaves Jack at home doing the housework and taking care of the kids, which he discovers is a lot more complicated than he ever imagined. Moving from breadwinner to househusband doesn't do much for his self-esteem, and he bides his time playing poker for 10-cents-off coupons with a gaggle of neighborhood housewifes and pondering infidelity with dedicated homewrecker Joan (Ann Jillian). Among Keaton's fish-out-of-water bits: trying to maneuver a shopping cart with the inevitable wobbly wheels; and imagining a soap opera-cum-film noir episode in which he gives in to Joan's advances, only to be found out by Caroline. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
