CBS sitcom 'Yes, Dear' premieres with Anthony Clark in the cast

'Yes, Dear' premiered on the US network CBS on 3 October 2000. The family sitcom starred stand-up comedian Anthony Clark, alongside Mike O'Malley, Jean Louisa Kelly and Liza Snyder.

The show followed two married couples with sharply different approaches to raising their children. Clark and Kelly played one couple, with a more relaxed and chaotic household, while O'Malley and Snyder played the other, who were stricter and more structured. The contrast between the two families, who spent much of their time together, drove most of the comedy.

The series became a steady presence in CBS's schedule and ran for six seasons, ending in 2006. It gave Clark, who had earlier appeared in the sitcom 'Boston Common', one of the best-known roles of his career. The show's premiere is the starting point for his later public profile as a television actor and comedian, which is why it is recalled in coverage of his death.
