CBS initially broadcast the fifth season on Mondays at 8:30 pm ET in the United States between How I Met Your Mother and Two and a Half Men.
Jeff and Audrey's idea of the perfect candidate (Jaime Pressly, as Pam) to serve as their surrogate is ruined by Russell's fling with her.
When his love life doesn't move at the desired pace, Jeff takes matters "into his own hands," which makes Audrey want to spice things up.
Audrey, upset by her appearance in a photograph belonging to Jeff's boss Larry (Holmes Osborne), decides to replace the picture.
Meanwhile, Russell dates a woman (Bree Turner as Heather) who gives him a very familiar series of excuses.
In order to try to impress an old friend (Elaine Hendrix as Stephanie), Audrey pretends that she's still at her old job and attempts to mentor an aspiring fashion writer (Vanessa Lengies as Julie).
