The War at Home
Remember all the rules you broke as a teenager? It's payback time.
Created by Rob Lotterstein
On FOX
A sitcom built on the comic irony of parents who can't control their teenagers because they were worse at that age, grounded in middle-class family dynamics and generational role reversal.
When Dave and Vicky were growing up, their parents had it easy. Back then, there were no “time-outs,” no one had any “boundaries,” and “parenting” wasn’t even a word. Parents had no idea what their kids were really up to and ignorance truly was bliss. Now Dave and Vicky have teenagers of their own, and anything their kids might even think about doing, Dave and Vicky have already done… at least twice.
