Greg Warner (Clark) is a motion picture executive, and Kim Warner (Kelly) is a stay-at-home mother to Sam and, later, Emily. Kim's sister, Christine Hughes (Snyder), and Christine's husband, Jimmy Hughes (O'Malley), along with their two sons, Dominic (Joel Homan) and Logan (Brendon Baerg), live in the Warners' guest house, where the Hughes family's easygoing approach to life in general contrasts with Greg's uptight and fussy demeanor. The plots revolve around child rearing, work (especially after Greg gets Jimmy a job as the movie studio's security guard), and sex, and often involve various combinations of the four adults plotting against each other.
Late in the fifth season, the Hughes family finally earns enough money to move out of the guest house and buy the house next door. Greg quits his job following his company's takeover and the firing of his boss, the overbearing but decent Mr. Savitsky.
Greg is unable to find work, and toxic mold is discovered in the Warners' home, so they are forced to move in with the Hughes family early in the sixth season. Savitsky later joins a Japanese movie studio and rehires Greg, enabling the Warners to move back into their home. In the final scene of the series, an earthquake strikes Los Angeles, and, while the Warners' house receives only minimal damage, the Hughes family is not so lucky, and they show up at the Warners' front door asking if the guest house is still available.
