Phew – – this rides the line. Initially called “Family Guide,” Mom and Dad are getting divorced, son wants to live with Dad because Dad’s blind and son Henry wants to keep being his father’s “eyes”. Parker Posey was originally cast to play Mom, but there was a last-minute substitution as the show went to series. Didn’t matter though – – the series died after ten episodes.
