All of Us

Robert James (series star DUANE MARTIN) is handsome, smart and thoroughly modern in his thinking--as he should be, considering his romantic and parental entanglements. Robert is divorced from the somewhat self-absorbed Neesee James (series star LISARAYE McCOY), the mother of their endearing young son, Bobby (series star KHAMANI GRIFFIN). Providing friendship and varying degrees of support and advice is Dirk Black (series star TONY ROCK), Robert's best friend and producer. On the heels of his breakup with his former fiancée Tia and the loss of his job a few months earlier, Robert attempts to get his life back on track until his ex-wife, Neesee, is forced to move in with him after her apartment burns down. Meanwhile, Dirk talks Robert into going to a meeting to pitch a new talk show.

Robert and Dirk excitedly prepare to appear in their new talk show, "Get Real." Dirk is confident he will be a great co-host--until the cameras go on, and he freezes! After Dirk reveals that he had an embarrassing public-speaking incident as a kid, Robert agrees to do all the talking on the show. But Robert smartly tricks Dirk into overcoming his fears, and the show is a success. Meanwhile, with both Neesee and Bobby living with him full time, Robert is getting no rest or relaxation. But when he demands that she quickly get her own place, Neesee prepares to buy a dingy, burnt-out restaurant and convert it into a home for her and Bobby. Robert finally agrees to let her live with him until she has the time to find a suitable place.

Dirk takes Robert to the dance club for the first time since Robert's divorce, and despite his disconcerting honesty, Robert manages to get a date with a cute woman, Andrea (recurring guest star DAYA VAIDYA). Unfortunately, upon learning that the lascivious Dirk once dated Andrea, Robert rudely refuses to get intimate with Andrea. In a fantasy sequence, Robert imagines all the women Dirk has slept with, including ANNA NICOLE SMITH (herself). Finally, Robert realizes that he is making excuses to avoid being hurt in a relationship again, and he reconciles with Andrea. Meanwhile, Bobby gets frustrated when the tooth fairy does not arrive.

When Dirk brags about his success with Internet dating, Neesee and Robert each secretly try it. Without knowing it, they go to the same site and have a romantic chat with each other from two different rooms of the house and even set up a date. When Robert sees Neesee waiting alone at a bar, he realizes what's going on and feels sorry for her. But her attitude only causes him to continue to lead her on, which she ultimately discovers--and she promptly tricks Robert in return. Meanwhile, little Bobby's advice actually helps Dirk with his love problems.

When Robert and Neesee realize that their constant arguing is affecting Bobby, Jr., Neesee suggests they attend couples therapy. Meanwhile, Dirk uses Bobby, Jr. to help him meet women.

Robert wants to enroll Bobby in one of the best schools in the state, the prestigious Cresthaven Academy. At first, Neesee is against Robert's plan until they meet with the principal and learn that the majority of the students matriculate to the nation's top universities--and scholarships are available. Bobby returns home from his first day at the new school and announces that he wants to be white when he grows up. After a quick lesson in black history, race and culture, Robert and Neesee think everything has been resolved. But a phone call from the school on the following day proves otherwise. In a rush to judgment, Neesee calls CONGRESSWOMAN MAXINE WATERS (herself) to complain about racism in the school, unaware that Bobby has unintentionally offended all of his white classmates. Ultimately, a conference with the principal clears up the confusion. Meanwhile, Dirk and Robert deal with a focus group's comments about their new TV show.

As a favor to Neesee, Robert lets her longtime friend, Gwen Finn (JAZSMIN LEWIS), stay in his house while she's in town. Although Robert has always disliked Gwen, he discovers that she has lost a lot of weight and is now attractive to him.

As Robert, Neesee and Bobby excitedly prepare for their first Christmas together since the divorce, they are surprised by the arrival of Neesee's estranged brother, Vonte (ALEX THOMAS), who is on parole from jail. Although Vonte claims to have become a better person, Neesee refuses to reconcile with him--until Robert makes a kind gesture and shows her how important family is. But when Robert, Neesee and Bobby wake up on Christmas morning, they find out that their Christmas spirit is about to be truly tested.

Neesee reluctantly agrees to visit Robert's Aunt Telly ("MISS LAURA" HAYES) in the hospital and pretend to still be married to Robert so the old woman won't be upset.

When Clarence gives a good review of the food--but a terrible review of Robert and Neesee's relationship--Robert rethinks the partnership and makes a decision. Meanwhile, Bobby gets Dirk into trouble by using Dirk's cell phone for prank calls.

Trying to keep up with the rich parents at Bobby's new school, Neesee hosts an elaborate birthday party for Bobby, complete with zoo animals and fancy food.
