Bill Davis (Gary Cole) and his proper English butler, Mr. French, enjoy a carefree life in a posh Manhattan bachelor pad until Bill becomes the reluctant guardian of his brother's orphaned children. In the hourlong opener, 6-year-old twins Buffy and Jody arrive at the apartment---and waste no time getting into trouble. To the dismay of shell-shocked Uncle Bill and French, teenager Sissy (Caitlin Wachs) soon follows. Subsequent episodes are 30 minutes long.moreless
