A privileged urban teen struggles to learn an important life lesson after her family falls on hard times and move to her grandparents' farm in order to get back on their feet. Whitney Brown (Sammi Hanratti) was raised in the lap of luxury; her parents (Aidan Quinn and Brooke Shields) gave her everything a child could ever want. But when the economic climate takes a turn for the worst, the well-to-do family must find a new place to live. Initially dejected by the slow pace of rural life, Whitney starts to perk up after befriending a majestic Gypsy Vanner horse named Odd Job Bob on a ranch owned by cantankerous Dusty (Kris Kristofferson) -- whose connection to her family is stronger than she suspects. It isn't long before the change of scenery, the quality family time, and the idyllic days spent with her new equine friend allow Whitney the opportunity to gain a greater appreciation for nature and to understand the importance of occasionally stepping back to put your life in perspective. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

It's another medical mystery for House (Hugh Laurie) when 6-year-old Lucy (Bailee Madison) suffers a stroke and exhibits symptoms normally found in much older patients. Equally disturbing is the behavior of Lucy's 8-year-old brother Jasper (Slade Pearce), who has apparently developed an adult-level sex drive. The youngster now has a burning desire for Cameron (Jennifer Morrison--who is already having enough trouble vis-à-vis her disintegrating relationship with Chase (Jesse Spencer). Elsewhere, a jealous House plans to crash a theater party when Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) escorts Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) to a show. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Two big families merge into one super-sized brood in this comedy. Frank Beardsley (Dennis Quaid) is a naval officer who has been raising eight children on his own after the death of his wife, and while he loves his kids, he rules his household with military precision. Frank has been alone just long enough that he decides it's time to start dating again, and he agrees to be set up on a blind date for a social function. To his surprise, his date turns out to be Helen North (Rene Russo), a girl he dated years ago when they were both in high school who, like Frank, lost her spouse not long ago. The old chemistry clicks anew for Helen and Frank, and he asks her to marry him. However, there's just a bit of a problem -- Helen is caring for ten children of her own, six of whom were adopted, and her artistic temperament makes for a very different household than Frank and his kids are used to. Frank and Helen decide to give this grand experiment a try, but the 18 siblings don't get along at all well at first, until they decide to set aside their differences and unite against a common foe -- their folks. Yours, Mine & Ours is a remake of a 1968 comedy of the same name, which starred Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball as the newlywed parents. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
