Pride & Joy aired from March until July 1995 on NBC.
Role reversal comedy in which two dads did diaper duty while their wives pursued the yuppie dream . Greg and Amy Sherman( Craig Bierko, Julie Warner) were a young couple living in a Manhattan high-rise and entranced with their newborn, Mel. Since Greg, a freelance magazine writer, worked at home he took care of the baby while Amy, an adverising agency art director, trooped off to work. Across the hall Nathan and Carol ( Jeremy Piven, Caroline Rhea) were in a slightly diferent situation. Neurotic Nathan was an unemployed stockbroker looking for a job, while outspoken, excitable Carol was a copywriter at Amy's agency. Six-moth-old Mitchell was their second child; 12-year-old computer genius Steven was the first. Together Greg and Nathan learned the fine points of baby changing and cuddling, while their wives fretted about their lack of quality time.
Katya ( Natasha Pavlovic) was the Sherman's perky Romanian housekeeper.

BABY BOMB
THE NEWBORN SITCOM 'PRIDE & JOY' PRODUCES A GAG REFLEX
D+ By Bruce Fretts
The newborn sitcom 'Pride & Joy' produces a gag reflex if you're tickled by jokes about diapers and placentas, then Pride & Joy (NBC, Tuesdays, 9:30-10 p.m.) may be the show for you. Julie Warner (Doc Hollywood) and Greg Evigan look-alike Craig Bierko (Madman of the People) play Amy and Greg Sherman, a pair of bland Manhattanites with a newborn son. Across the hall live the constantly squabbling Nathan (The Larry Sanders Show's Jeremy Piven) and Carol Green (stand-up Caroline Rhea), parents of a baby boy and a never-seen 12-year-old son (note to all sitcom writers: Enough with the invisible characters already). Created by Family Ties' Marc Lawrence, P&J tries to affect an air of sophistication with jokes about Donna Karan and Waiting for Godot. But mostly it wallows in infantile humor: ''All we need is a tiny little trench coat,'' Warner cracks wanly as she watches her offspring play with himself. Piven strains to enliven his unemployed-stockbroker character, but he's lost without Larry Sanders' smart scripts. The otherwise unspectacular P&J may be remembered as the first sitcom to feature a spit take with breast milk. Then again, it may not. D+
