Ep 1

Pilot

Sep 17, 1996

Lisa begins her new job as Assitant States Attorney for the City of Baltimore, and Kevin has trouble adjusting to Lisa's long hours outside of the home. On her first day at work, she's insulted by the entire staff and given less than a day to prepare for a case. Later that day, after a basketball player is injured and Kevin has to go to the ER, instead of watching Snow White, Tess and Griffin get to go on thier first trip to a bar, where Lisa interviews a key witness in her case -- a loopy bartender.

Ep 2

Daycareless

Sep 24, 1996

Lisa and Kevin realize how overwhelming thier lives have become when they mistakenly leave baby Griffin at daycare, each thinking the other has picked him up. After several warnings and one more tardy pick-up, Griffin is expelled and the Hunters must find alternative daycare. Temporary relief arrives in the form of Connie, Lisa's larger-than-life mother, who comes to stay with the Hunters. Although she's happy to help her daughter and son-in-law, Connie quickly makes it clear that she loves her grandchildren but she's not about to become their full-time baysitter. Lisa and Kevin must return, apologetically to Griffin's original daycare center. In order to get their baby re-enrolled, they generously ""donate"" their brand new VCR to the center. To Lisa's dismay, her beloved copy of ""Braveheart"" was still in the VCR-- and the task falls to Kevin to provide a suitable replacement -- so he transforms into a Mel Gibson-esque warrior, complete with blue complexion and kilt.
