Premise
Tony Kleinman is a sports show host who talks about everything sports with his sidekick Bernie Widmer, a former NFL player; together they host the TV show Listen Up! While Tony does talk about sports most of the time on the show and on his newspaper column, he strays away occasionally to talk about the daily exploits of his family; these are his wife, Dana, a fundraiser coordinator, Mickey his 15-year-old golf prodigy son and Megan, his 14-year-old know-it-all, smart-mouthed, soccer-playing daughter.

Famous quotes containing the word premise:
“We have to give ourselves—men in particular—permission to really be with and get to know our children. The premise is that taking care of kids can be a pain in the ass, and it is frustrating and agonizing, but also gratifying and enjoyable. When a little kid says, “I love you, Daddy,” or cries and you comfort her or him, life becomes a richer experience.”
—Anonymous Father. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)
