Yes, Dear is an American television sitcom which aired from 2000 to 2006 on CBS. It starred Anthony Clark, Jean Louisa Kelly, Mike O'Malley and Liza Snyder. These actors had recently starred in their own failed sitcoms; critics ravaged it as one of the worst new shows of the season and a likely candidate for first cancellations of the season. Instead, Yes, Dear scored surprisingly solid ratings for CBS over the next four seasons, in spite of little to no promotion and a number of timeslot changes.

In spring 2004, CBS pulled the plug on the program, but later ordered an additional 13 episodes for midseason. After canceling Center of the Universe, CBS began airing the new Yes, Dear episodes on Wednesday, February 16, 2005 in the 9:30 p.m. EST time slot. The show did better than many expected and CBS ordered an additional season of 22 episodes for 2005–2006, but that order was later cut to 13.

Thanks to an untimely preemption, the Season Five finale was not aired in May 2005. Instead, it was aired in September of 2005 a week before the "official" start of the season. Thus, many viewers were unaware that a new episode was being broadcast. Another episode held over from Season Five due to a preemption was finally aired in January of 2006. Because of these preemptions, continuity for the series was thrown into disarray.

CBS confirmed to The Washington Post that the show will not return in the 2006–2007 season blank">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/02/AR2006030202097.html?sub=AR.

During the later half of 2007, reruns aired on the cable station _TBS in the 1:00 p.m. EST time slot. As of January 2008, TBS began airing the show during the 3:00 p.m. EST time slot instead, becoming a solid part of the weekday sitcom lineup known as "The Break Room." The show aired in local syndication in 2005–06; in the fall of 2006, 20th Television, the syndication subsidiary of 20th Century Fox, took the show out of barter syndication and replaced it with "Still Standing".

Yes, Dear is a comedy about two young couples and their outrageously contrasting views on parenting. First-time parents, Greg and Kim Warner struggle on a daily basis to become perfect at the job. Kim is a neurotic, stay-at-home mother, and although her husband, Greg, is a success in his career, his more difficult job is keeping his wife calm as they raise their year-old son, Sam. While Kim is determined to be the perfect mother and perfect wife and to raise the perfect son, her sister, Christine Hughes, a very down-to-earth mother of two [four-year-old Dominic and one-year-old Logan], continually reminds her that life will never be perfect. Christine's husband, Jimmy, is employed as a security guard and unconcerned about living in Kim and Greg's guest house and feels compelled to share with his brother-in-law his philosophy about being a husband and a parent while still remaining a man.
