Ronald Freeman (Frankie Faison) is widowed African-American dentist who marries Ellen (Stephanie Faracy), a divorced Caucasian kindergarten teacher who was one of his patients. Ronald has two teenage sons from his marriage while Ellen has a teenage daughter. Ellen's ex-husband, Leonard, who is accepting of her second marriage, would occasionally visit her while attempting to get his life back on track. Although the series did focus on race issues, most episodes focused on the family adjusting to their new living situation and the three children going through adolescence. Another source of contention for Ronald and Ellen was Ellen's mother Sara (Nancy Walker) who disapproved of her daughter's marriage.

In the second season of the series, Faison was replaced by Cleavon Little (in one of his final roles). The series was canceled after the end of its second season. Nancy Walker died in early 1992, and her character only appeared for a portion of the second season
