Trivia
Many TV Viewers and Critics felt the show's depiction of a father who was a doctor whose office was in the home and a mother who was a working professional was ripped off from The Cosby Show. Creator 'Neil Marlens (I)' has said that Jason and Maggie's occupations and related dynamics were based on those of his own parents while growing up and that the similarities were coincidental.

This show is rapidly becoming one of my favorites. It's fun watching the kids grow up and change. Unlike many sitcoms, each of them has his or her own personality and that makes for some very funny and truthful episodes. I can relate to all of the characters at different points, and it's a very pleasant way to spend my afternoon.
Note Leonardo DiCaprio in around the last season. Odd that he's on there, but quite good. :)
