（转自天涯小筑） 谁是我们这个时代的英雄？政坛名人？电影明星？体育明星？也许吧……可日常生活中的英雄呢？是辛辛苦苦养育我们的父母。在孝子们眼里，母亲才是最值得崇敬的「超级英雄」。 来瞧瞧我们的「超级英雄」Frankie Heck（Patricia Heaton扮演）。她有三重身份：贤妻，良母，二手车推销员。她有什么特别的地方？她住在美国中部，过着中产阶级的生活，岁数接近中年，她的生活里一切都带个「中」字。她有什么「超能力」？每天早上把丈夫Mike（Neil Flynn扮演）伺候得舒舒服服的，然后把三个孩子平平安安地送出家门！ Frankie Heck和Mike一辈子都住在小镇Jasper（印第安纳州）上，正好夹在两座工厂的中间－－一座是糕点厂，一座是轮胎厂。Jasper的居民呼吸什么空气，得看当天刮什么风。也许你上午闻到的是甜甜的蛋糕味，下午就变成了刺鼻的橡胶味。 Mike是个言语不多，但是出言必惊人的男人，他在镇上的采石场担任经理。而Frankie在当地一家二手车行工作，业绩排名第三。不过，车行里也就只有三个销售员……她也许工作能力不足，当不了女强人，也不可能出人头地。可只要回到家里，她「大展拳脚」的时刻就来临了。 Frankie的大儿子Axel（Charlie McDermott扮演）喜欢做白日梦，喜欢枪炮与玫瑰乐队，喜欢一切反传统的东西；女儿Sue（Eden Sher扮演）做事总是毛手毛脚，虽然爱好广泛，但却一事无成；只有7岁的小儿子Brick（Atticus Shaffer扮演）除了自己的书包外再无其他朋友。 这是一部描述家庭关系的情景喜剧，没有跌宕起伏的剧情，也没有浮华的气氛。本剧用平实的故事告诉观众：家庭总是第一位的。不管你做什么，都应该团结家人、形成家庭合力。
This drama is set in a south Florida plastic surgery center, McNamara-Troy, centering around the two doctors who own it. Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) is having problems at home, trying to keep his family together, trying to patch up the rocky road him and his wife Julia (Joely Richardson) are experiencing. On the other hand, sex-craved Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) uses his charm to bring in potential female candidates and conducts shady business deals, often for the love of money. While Sean takes his job seriously, he often has to fix Christian's mistakes. During the first season, Sean and Christian got mixed up with Escobar Gallardo, a Colombian drug lord who forced the two to do free surgery whenever he wanted them to. Sean's marriage with Julia began to wear thin, and Sean had an affair with a patient named Megan O'Hara. Julia went back to school, but it was interrupted by a miscarriage of a child Sean and Julia were trying to have. Christian learned he is the father of a baby with a woman named Gina, who he met at Sexaholics Anonymous. When the baby was born, we learn that the baby is African-American, and therefore not his. Julia questions Matt's paternity.
