Surviving Jack - Season 1

Jack is about to be a stay-at-home dad now that his wife is returning to law school, but it's not going to be easy with a teenage daughter who's getting busy with a boyfriend in her bedroom and a teenage son going through puberty who is starting to develop an interest in girls. However, the toughest part will be his kids surviving Jack.

Jack tries to whip Frankie and his friends into shape for varsity baseball tryouts, while Joanne ends up getting too involved in Rachel's love life.

Frankie works up the courage to ask out his crush, only to be disappointed to find that she already has a date for the homecoming dance; at the same time, Jack forces Rachel to drive George to school as a punishment.

Homecoming night is a major letdown for Frankie, whose crush is attending the event with someone else. Meanwhile, Jack and Joanne look forward to a romantic evening at home without the kids; and Rachel leads a protest against the school's "no grinding" policy.

Frankie introduces Heather to his family, but Joanne doesn't make the best first impression while on pain medication; and Jack puts his wife's post-surgery care second to ensuring no hanky-panky is going on under his roof. Meanwhile, George and Mikey attempt to retrieve a porn video they hid in a "Casablanca" VHS case at the Dunlevy house.

Jack's plan for getting Rachel to take school and her future more seriously is to sign her up for the wrestling team, even though the coach is less than thrilled to have her; and Frankie is embarrassed to be seen in public with Joanne during their annual mother-son trip.

Jack and Joanne are at odds after the kids betray their trust; Frankie has his first taste of alcohol at a varsity baseball party; and Rachel decides to go on birth control.

Jack overestimates his parenting skills when he lets Rachel have a sleepover.
