Robert James (Duane Martin), an entertainment reporter for a local Los Angeles television station, is handsome, smart and thoroughly modern in his thinking--as he should be, considering his romantic and parental entanglements. Recently divorced from the somewhat self-absorbed

Neesee (LisaRaye McCoy), the mother of their endearing five-year-old son,

Bobby Jr. (Khamani Griffin). Robert is madly in love with his fianc�e,

Tia (Elise Neal), a funny, clever kindergarten teacher who helped him get over the demise of his first marriage. Robert and Tia are of a new generation. They refuse to buy into the old stereotype that being divorced means you can't get along with the ex. So Robert does things differently as he graciously and humorously works to maintain the peace, however uneasy, between his ex-wife and soon-to-be new bride. Yet, last season's cliffhanger left Tia wondering just how much Neesee will be able to handle for the rest of her life. Providing friendship and varying degrees of support and advice to the couple is

Dirk (Tony Rock), Robert's best friend and producer, who lives the Hollywood single life, and Tia's best friend and fellow teacher

Jonelle (Terri J. Vaughn).

As viewers look into the life experiences of an American blended family, Robert and his extended family will bring them laughs, style and true warmth as Robert always tries to do the best for everyone he loves.
