    A light entertainment family comedy from Canada

    A radio talk show host (Maxwell) and her father (Hewgill) and daughter "Zoe" (Veninger) living together with typical and some more atypical family conflicts learn how to accept each other's differences of opinion.

    In the second season, a cousin (Bolton) (whose parents are working in Saudi Arabia) comes to stay with them. This is an unusual case of a revised format for an already first rate series actually making it even better. An all around quality production from Atlantis, even the theme music.
