That's Life
ABC Sitcom

This sitcom stars Christopher Meloni and Nicollette Sheridan as Mike and Donna Philipps, high school sweethearts who have remained married ever since and are the proud parents (sometimes) of their two kids. The thing is Mike and Donna graduated from high school June 1983, married October 1983, and had their oldest child April 1984. Mike and Donna have two kids: 21-year-old Jesse (Jesse Soffer) and 19-year-old Kenzie (Kaley Cuoco). Jesse took two years off to "find himself" (meaning-he went to California, surfed, met babes, and have fun) before he entered himself in as a freshman at Grace Augustine Community College-which just so happens to be where Kenzie is attending college also as a freshman. Mike is a paramedic/EMT as Donna is a real estate agent. Both Jesse and Kenzie are jobless going into college, yet will definitely not leave college jobless, by their parents' request. Kenzie is not really that thrilled to have her brother be in some of her same classes, yet discovers the perks of having Jesse in some of her classes. Also, how will the Philipps family react to the news of Donna's surprising new pregnancy? Another "opps baby" by Mike and Donna?
