We Need Therapy:

This sitcom is about a happily married couple who live in their Connecticut home with their children. This couple is none other than Dr. Jason Milano (French Stewart) and Dr. Pamela Milano (Jan Hooks). Jason is a high school therapist/high school guidance counselor, and Pamela is a marriage counselor. Jason and Pamela are both eccentric and neurotic-enough to annoy and embarrass their two children: Kevin Milano (Drake Bell) and Amber Milano (Miley Cyrus). Kevin is a 17 year old high school senior (and athletic jock), who is also a ladiesman or so he thinks. Kevin is also the lead guitarist for his band, Black Hazel. Amber is a 14 year old high school freshman (and drama queen) who craves attention from boys and acceptance from "the popular crowd". Amber is a part of the Peter Quince Performing Company, of which she can act, sing, and dance in performances.
