The series centers on a pair of young architects in San Francisco, Bob (Jon Cryer) and Owen (Tate Donovan), and Owen's fiancée Alicia (Maria Pitillo).

Much of the show's humor derives from Bob's lack of success with women and his competition with Alicia for Owen's attention.

The ninth episode, "City Hall", crossed over with another Fox series, Ned and Stacey, when Debra Messing and Thomas Haden Church appeared as their characters in the episode.

Owen learns he can't fight city hall after Alicia – shocked by her parents' announcement that they plan to divorce – demands he taker her there at once to get married.
