Eve and Herb Hubbard have lived next door to Kaye and Roger Buell for 15 years. They have very different lifestyles, but they are still best friends. The Buells' son Jerry and the Hubbards' daughter Suzie fall in love while in college, marry, and set up house in the Hubbards' garage apartment. The two sets of parents have different ideas of how their children should live their lives, and the constant meddling of the mothers-in-law provides the scene for the series.
