TV titan Tim
Allen returns to ABC as Mike Baxter, world voyager and one daredevil of a
marketing director who is about to face his greatest challenge yet...his
family. After
Mike’s
wife, Vanessa, (Nancy Travis) receives a promotion at work, Mike must
spend more time in his female-dominated household. With years of advice
andguidance from their nurturing mother, Mike’s three daughters are not
prepared
for their old-fashioned, hotheaded father to take over. Especially
20-year-old Kristin,
who’s trying to raise her own son, Boyd, with more of a liberal approach
than
Mike can stand. Celeb-obsessed Mandy has plenty of issues with Mike's
style, and even though sporty Eve has a lot in common with her pop,
there's still room for friction. When
he isn’t
reclaiming the masculinity in his home, Mike works at the sporting goods
man-cave, Outdoor Man: A place where men can buy guns, jerky and a
camouflage
recliner in one testosterone-fueled location. Mike’s boss, Ed Alzate,
took
Mike off of his thrilling magazine expositions and stuck him in front of
the
computer to supervise the company’s website.
With the help of his naïve
subordinate, Kyle, Mike runs the Outdoor Man video log, which not
onlyexplores the store’s stock of man-gear, but also helps Mike express
his biggest
concern with the 21st century: “What happened to men?” Tim Allen
