Felix Unger and Oscar Madison meet at college in the late 1980s, and fate puts them together as roommates: while Felix is extremely neurotic and fussy in contrast to the slovenly and easy-going Oscar, they become friends quickly. They eventually marry two women very different from themselves (Felix gets hitched to the calm but feisty Ashley, and Oscar settles down with the insecure Gaby). Years later, Felix, now a neat-freak news writer and photographer, is kicked out by Ashley after twenty years of marriage (having spent eight of them in marriage counseling, with Felix going alone for the last two years) and moves in with Oscar, now a sports talk show host, whose ex-wife Gaby has left him because he was a thoughtless slob. Felix and Oscar attempt to date Casey and Emily, two sisters who are roommates in the same building, and who both have recently exited their own unhealthy relationships. Felix is pretty insecure as he still has feelings for Ashley, which contrasts with Oscar who claims to be better off away from his ex. However, Oscar later confesses to Felix that he is not over Gaby. Oscar holds poker games regularly, with two of the players being Teddy, his agent, and Roy, one of his best friends.

"From Here to Maturity"

To Felix's dismay, Oscar begins dating a much younger nanny named Allison whom he met in the building. Later, Oscar meets Allison's client, his upstairs neighbor Charlotte (guest star Teri Hatcher), who makes fun of him for dating a woman so much younger than he. Felix then convinces Oscar to break up with Allison and ask out Charlotte instead, but it backfires. Meanwhile, Emily is growing tired of always doing what Felix wants, so she asks for Dani's help in putting her foot down and insisting that Felix do something she likes.
