Yes, Dear is a US television sitcom that aired from October 2, 2000, to February 15, 2006, on CBS. It starred Anthony Clark, Jean Louisa Kelly, Mike O'Malley and Liza Snyder.

In the United States, reruns of the show can be seen on TBS, Nick at Nite and CMT. In Canada, it can be seen on Joytv.

Plot

Greg Warner (Clark) is a motion picture executive, and Kim Warner (Kelly) is a stay-at-home mother to Sammy and, later, Emily. Kim's sister, Christine Hughes (Snyder), and Christine's husband, Jimmy Hughes (O'Malley), along with their two sons, Dominic (Joel Homan) and Logan (Brendon Baerg), live in the Warners' guest house.

Much of the show's humor comes from the fact that all four adult leads are largely stock characters. Greg is the stereotypical "nice guy," constantly being henpecked by his high-strung wife. Both contrast to the decidedly working-class and less restrained Hugheses, with Jimmy having the personality of an oaf and Christine being somewhat more crass.

Connection to Raising Hope

In 2010, Garcia premiered a new show, titled Raising Hope on Fox Broadcasting Company. The new show has made numerous references since its inception to Garcia's other show, My Name Is Earl. In season three, episode sixteen, Brian Doyle-Murray is shown as a Hollywood studio executive, a reference to his role as Mr. Savitsky. The following episode, Jimmy and Christine are featured prominently as characters who have made a habit out of watching the sex tape made by the new show's characters, Virginia and Burt Chance. Dominic and Logan are also referenced in conversation.
