The series opens up with us meeting Holly (Played by Kristen Johnston), a divorce attorney who is showing one of her more recent clients, Stuart (played by David Alan Basche), a needy do-gooder, to a shared apartment for him to start his life anew. Dumped by their wives, Holly took pity on these guys and sublets an extra apartment that she owns across the hall from her own. It's here that we meet the other bachelors, we have ladies man Phil (played by Donald Faison, Scrubs), who in every single episode can found playing a game of "Bang and Boot" with a different girl, and couch potato Haskell (Wayne Knight, Seinfeld), who... sits around waiting for the punch line of the scene to be delivered.

The first season introduces our characters and spends a lot of the episodes focusing on at least one character and their attempt to get back out there into the dating world and the others helping out, It's a pretty cut and dry first season. The only type of real story here is presented in the second season when they introduces an overarching story with Holly's secretary, Eden (played by Kelly Stables), and her controversial pregnancy (due to the actresses real life pregnancy), resulting with everyone re-evaluating their standing in life, especially Holly. Over the course of these first 22 episodes, the characters will grow as they deal with their newfound standing in life, trying their hand again at the dating world, and building new relationships.

Video and Audio:
The episodes have been framed in their widescreen television aspect ratio of 1.78:1 and are enhanced for widescreen televisions. For DVDs, the quality is quite good with very pleasingly rich, gorgeous colors. Even with the anamorphic enhancement, there are occasional problems with aliasing as there is some noticeable fuzz.

The only audio format presented on this box set is a Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo sound mix, which works quite well. There were no signs of audio dropouts or distortions. It's overall a very solid sound mix.
