Jules (Courteney Cox) is divorced from her slacker husband Bobby Cobb (Brian Van Holt) and living in a cul-de-sac in a Florida town with her son Travis (Dan Byrd). She's a real estate agent with flighty Laurie Keller (Busy Philipps). Her best friend Ellie Torres (Christa Miller) is married to Andy Torres (Ian Gomez). She falls for Grayson Ellis (Josh Hopkins) who lives across the street. Tom (Bob Clendenin) is the weird doctor who also lives in the cul-de-sac. The group drinks wine and hangs out.
The cul-de-sac gang is a fun alcoholic wacky group. That's the most important part of these traditional sitcoms. It has the similar wackiness as Bill Lawrence's previous show Scrubs. The change to TBS didn't change it too much although it did indicate a slow inevitable decline. After a few seasons, the show became repetitive and safe. It is a little weird to have Travis go with Laurie. It tied down Laurie from having wild adventures and it stopped Travis' hopeless romantic search. It felt like the show closed off two avenues of possibilities to go down one road with limitations. The show eventually runs out of stories.
