Day by Day

Brian and Kate are at odds and evens when the parents of overachiever Molly ask them to add math and reading to their curriculum.

Self-sufficient teen Ross looks at quality time as an overrated inconvenience, while Brian is serious about getting to know his son.

Brian takes the title of ""Hippest Dad"" to heart, when all Ross would like him to be is ""Anonymous Ride Giver,"" especially when his dad's new found coolness threatens to ruin his party.

Caught in a stock scam, Eileen receives a sentence worse than death: community service at the day-care center. Meanwhile, Ross's bathrobe, Baby, seems to have escaped from his custody.

Brian and Kate have their hands full at a slumber party with a guitar-strumming Ross, Eileen, two hyper kids, and another kid who's dreading the arrival of a new sibling.

When Kristin turns down his request for a date, Ross and his overactive teen hormones settle for an evening of team babysitting.

Buoyed by Ross's high aptitude scores, Kate goes to work as his high-pressure tutor.

Kate turns bearish when Brian becomes more interested in part-time stock counseling than in full-time storytelling.

Obsessive planner Eileen meets a divorced father and, after dating him for only a week, she maps out their next 50 years together.

Ross basks in the glow of pre-school as he wows the kids with a hit dinosaur demo, prompting Brian and Kate to steer him toward a teaching career.

Aided by amateur counselors Elaine and Kristin, Kate tries to rekindle the romance in her marriage, as hamsters and finger painting replace dining and dancing.

The kids are gearing up for a trip to the petting zoo, but Kate's ego is what needs stroking after a bad day has her convinced that she's a day-care disaster.
