hiller & diller
my horrible year!
honey, we shrunk...
unlikely angel
a mother's revenge


synopsis

In Hiller & Diller Ted Hiller and Neil Diller are comedy writers at work and unlikely best friends in life. Ted is the organized, responsible half of the team; he and his wife Jeanne have raised three outstanding kids, Lizzie, Josh, and Allison. In contrast, the flaky but lovable Neil has two failed marriages and two rebellious teenage kids he's only seen on weekends. Unexpectedly saddled with the full-care of Brook and Zane, he realizes he's got to take control before his children turn up on a tabloid talk show. But never having grown up himself, Neil has no idea how to be a dad. Jeanne and Ted have gotten used to raising Neil along with their children, so they accept the challenge of helping him raise his kids, too! When they're not exploring the uncharted territory of marriage and parenthood, Hiller and Diller churn out scripts for a weekly television sitcom. Their producer, Gordon could be the high blood pressure poster child; if Ted and Neil are late with a script, it's a sure bet that one of Gordon's explosive tantrums is brewing.

Allison Mack

Keeping their professional and personal lives from chaos is a delicate balancing act, and the humor of Hiller and Diller comes from knowing that Neil may finally go completely nuts--and take Ted with him.

Allison Mack plays Brook Diller, a wisecracking, rebellious teen who is kicked out of school in the pilot episode, much to the dismay of her divorced father.
