Season 1 Episodes Synopsis

The Mind Of The Married Man
Micky, Doug and Jake are three married pals who work at the same Chicago newspaper. One day, Micky, one of the paper's ace reporters, laments to Doug and Jake that his wife Donna has discovered a cache of personal porn on his computer. Micky then makes matters worse for himself when he decides to hire a beautiful new assistant named Missy. But despite Jake's urgings that he surrender himself to his libido, Micky ultimately decides to take Doug's advice: give romance with Donna another try. The Secret Of The Universe
Admonished by Micky for being "cold" to Missy, Donna arrives at his office to ask her out to lunch - a decision that does not sit well with her husband. Single co-worker Kevin boasts about the plethora of "crazy" women around town; Jake gets up-close-and-personal with the paper's new entertainment reporter Ilene; and Doug shares his "secret of the universe" with Micky, offering to loan Micky and Donna some self-help "marriage tapes" that he and his wife Carol watch to keep their relationship strong.

Jake ends his office affair with Ilene, and Doug seeks to curtail his wife Carol's excessive spending.
