The War at Home

2 Seasons 2005 - 2007 TV-14 30m 7.5

Parents struggle to raise their teens.

When Dave and Vicky were growing up, their parents had it easy. Back then, there were no "time-outs," no one had any "boundaries" and their parents had no idea what their kids were really up to. Now Dave and Vicky have their own teenagers, and anything they might even dream of doing, Dave and Vicky have already done at least twice. But knowledge isn't power--it's a giant pain; every day is a battle to keep their teens in line. Hillary, 16, is a know-it-all just emerging onto the dating scene; 15-year-old Larry isn't exactly a frequent diner at the cool kids' table in the cafeteria; and 13-year-old Mike is all hormones and video games. Dave and Vicky figure if they can send these three off to college without a police record or kids of their own, they've done their job. This witty, irreverent show goes inside the heads of a modern family through the use of a confessional space where the characters reveal everything they could never actually say to one another.
