Holding the Baby

Hey, what could make for a funnier sitcom than a new dad abandoned by his wife? Based on audience reaction to this 1998 sitcom, anything could! Jon Patrick Walker stars as a harried exec who don’t know nothin’ ‘bout raisin’ no babies, so he hires the (inevitably cute) Jennifer Westfeldt as a nanny. Sexual tension ensues; the laugh track roars appreciatively, and the show was canceled after fewer than a dozen episodes.
