Only in SoCal would a premise as old as 1950s sitcoms seem as unusual and entertaining as to get a TV treatment. Oh well -- I'd rather see this than a "reality" show about a D list Celeb's marital troubles.

Vacation, did they say vacation??????

I already emailed my friends.

I don't worry about Jeff too much if I leave, because I have been training the girls to do things around the house since they were old enough to walk.

That means you would never choose you. They want chaos....kids running wild, tying up dad and the cats, playing Puerto Rico with the neighborhood boys until (gasp!) 10pm, andrelabelling all your spices.

I can pretend that my house will go crazy.

I don't know how they can tape the show during the summer, things are more hectic when the kids are in school.

So the show's really about finding the dad who can be the best Mr. Mom? Being cast, presumably, because he starts out as a horrible Mr. Mom?

Meh.

When I read the subject line, I had this great thought of PSM and the girls on a trivia game.
