Dr. Ken is a cranky but lovable HMO doctor trying to juggle medicine and parenting who realizes that even when he’s right, his unorthodox approach is often wrong. Allison, his wife and a therapist, helps keep him in check while sharing responsibilities for their two kids: Dave, their youngest, who keeps life interesting with his quirky attitude, and their teenage daughter, Molly, who keeps them on their toes. Meanwhile at the clinic, Ken’s loyal, but oh-so-irritating staff includes a sharp tongued receptionist, a faithful nurse who is a confidante and partner-in-crime, a sweet, naïve resident who’s relentless optimism and quest for romance are a constant source of curiosity and irritation, and his nemesis — hospital administrator Pat — who never misses a chance to put the screws to Ken and his staff.
In the first episode, Ken is stressed out at work over his “whining, complaining” patients so he needs a therapy session with Allison; while back at home, Ken is nervous about Molly’s driving test — “What if she doesn’t fail?!”
