  • 001 & 002. Bees Can Sting You, Watch Out – 9/14/1992
    • John Hartman (John Ritter) is a divorced father living in Washington D.C., raising his two young sons Ben (Justin Burnette) and Elliot (Clark Duke). He works as an aide to Southern Republican Senator Strobe Smithers (George Gaynes), while his best friend Billy Bob Davis (Billy Bob Thornton) also works in the same office, as does his wife and legislative aide Mavis (Wendie Jo Sperber). The senator is having an affair with his airheaded secretary Didi Star (later Dee Dee Starr) (Beth Broderick), and keeps promoting her up the ladder. Mavis is not happy with this and takes it out on Billy Bob by throwing him out of their house. Billy Bob comes to John’s house to carpool his daughter Carson Lee (Doren Fein) with Ben and Elliot, and not only asks John if he can stay with him, but informs him that John’s ex-wife Deandra is now in an affair with their former female marriage counselor Dr. Ruth. This becomes another pain point on top of being mugged and having his wallet stolen while on his last date, which mostly upset him because it had the first photo of him and Elliot. Meanwhile Ben is exploring how to make money by handing out towels in the bathroom, emulating what he saw in a restaurant. Elliot is working on a school report about an incoming bee migration. At the office, a chain-smoking liberal reporter named Georgie Anne Lahti (Markie Post) applies for the Senator’s Press Secretary job, and shows up with her black nanny Miss Lula (Beah Richards) in tow, who had raised her since childhood. Although she appears over-qualified, Georgie admits how down on her luck she is, having even lost all of her clothes when her cleaners burned down.  Senator Smithers asks John to host a birthday party for Didi and he reluctantly agrees. A homeless man named Curtis May (Brent Briscoe) finds John’s wallet but his beloved photo is missing. Georgie asks Curtis if she can write a story about him and he agrees. When Georgie’s credit cards get denied and she gets thrown out of her motel, John agrees to let her and Lula stay with him. On the day of the party, Elliot collects bees in jar, and Ben makes plans to man the bathroom. The party gets wild with the Senator getting drunk, and Didi stripping down to her bikini. She declines another promotion and says she must remain a receptionist because her bikini business is keeping her too busy. Georgie has Curtis and his pregnant wife Melissa (Bryn Erin) in the kitchen for the interview, but refuses to take part in the party. John lays into her for being so self-absorbed and not helping him with the party and refusing to associate with any of the conservative crowd. She offers to leave and he takes her up on it. All hell breaks loose when the bees get released, Elliot’s friend Al calls 911, and Melissa goes into labor and gives birth on John’s bed. John collapses into a bubble bath, and Georgie comes to visit him and gives him the photo that he lost, admitting that she went through the garbage where Curtis found the wallet. She climbs into the tub fully clothed… and they wind up kissing. NOTE: This episode is to be continued. NOTE: This is a one-hour episode that airs in two parts in syndication.
