Will Freeman (David Walton) lived a charmed existence in San Francisco. After writing a hit song, he was granted a life of free time, free love and freedom from financial woes. He's single, unemployed and loving it. So imagine his surprise when Fiona (Minnie Driver), a needy single mom and her oddly charming 11-year-old son, Marcus (Benjamin Stockham), move in next door and disrupt his perfect world. When Marcus begins dropping by his home unannounced, Will's not so sure about being a kid's new best friend. But before he realizes it, Will starts to enjoy the visits and even finds himself looking out for the kid. In fact, this newfound friendship teaches him a thing or two that he never imagined possible - about himself and caring for others.

By the end of Season 1, Will has fallen in love with Sam, a beautiful doctor. But when that love takes him to New York and away from Fiona and Marcus, Will realizes just how much they mean to him. Will he stay in New York for love, or return to his home and to Marcus, whom he has grown to love as well?

Thanks for making the OT! I'm so psyched. I really dug the first season a lot. I'm interested to see where it'll go with the cliffhanger (I've been avoiding trailers and info about the second season).

Poor Marcus.
Little dude got no friends again.
Although I have no idea how they're gonna resolve his relationship with Sam without breaking them up. How are they gonna break up?

Interesting premiere. I loved the way last year ended and was wondering how they'd get him back to San Francisco for this season. I guess their differing views on New York will probably break them up. It is too bad though. Sam is just so great, kind of stinks they'd have to break up. Maybe they won't but it seems headed that way. Not the funniest episode, but a solid start. This show became one of my favorite comedies but the end of Season 1. Really great show.

Okay premier. Pretty amusing having wee Marcus looking the same but with a gruff voice.

Hopefully they don't have Will and Sam in a long distance thing the whole season. The NY bits sucked hard so I'm really glad that part is hopefully completely finished.

The episode was dragged down by having to deal with that arc but there was a few laughs.

Amusing episode this week. It was nice to return to it being just Will, Marcus and Fiona for a little while.
