JIMMY, CHRISTINE, GREG AND KIM COMPETE TO SEE WHOSE SON IS THE CUTEST AFTER LOGAN STEALS SAMMY'S GIRLFRIEND, ON THE FIFTH SEASON PREMIERE OF "YES, DEAR," WEDNESDAY, FEB. 16

"I Wish That I Had Sammy's Girl" -- The two couples compete to see whose son is more popular with a little girl, on the fifth season premiere of YES, DEAR, Wednesday, Feb. 16 (9:30-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Mark Cendrowski directed the episode written by Executive Producer Greg Garcia.

YES, DEAR is a comedy about two young couples and their outrageously contrasting views on parenting. Greg and Kim Warner (Anthony Clark and Jean Louisa Kelly) struggle on a daily basis to become perfect at the job. Kim is a neurotic, stay-at-home mother, and although her husband, Greg, is a success in his career, his more difficult job is keeping his wife calm as they raise their two young children. While Kim is determined to be the perfect mother and perfect wife and to raise the perfect children, her sister, Christine Hughes (Liza Snyder), a very down-to-earth mother of two, continually reminds her that life will never be perfect. Christine's husband, Jimmy (Mike O'Malley), often feels compelled to share with his brother-in-law his philosophy about being a husband and a parent while still remaining a man.

In the season premiere, Logan unintentionally steals Sammy's girlfriend so Kim and Greg try to bribe her back with fancy toys. Their sneaky plan starts a competition with Jimmy and Christine to see who is the more desirable child, Sammy or Logan.
