Yes, Dear is a television sitcom which aired from 2000 to 2006 on CBS. It starred Anthony Clark, Jean Louisa Kelly, Mike O'Malley and Liza Snyder. These actors had recently starred in their own failed sitcoms; critics ravaged Yes, Dear as one of the worst new shows of the season and a likely candidate for first cancellations of the season. Instead, Yes, Dear scored surprisingly solid ratings for CBS over the next four seasons, in spite of little to no promotion and a number of timeslot changes.

In spring 2004, CBS pulled the plug on the program, but later ordered an additional 13 episodes for midseason. After canceling Center of the Universe, CBS began airing the new Yes, Dear episodes on Wednesday, February 16, 2005 in the 9:30 p.m. EST time slot. The show did better than many expected and CBS ordered an additional season of 22 episodes for 2005–2006, but that order was later cut to 13.
