American Housewife

- Season 1

(2016)

Kate Nixon tries to raise her imperfect family in the 'perfect' town of Westport.

Exhausted Kate tries to juggle her kids, school, and a sick husband.

Kate reluctantly competes in the Westport Halloween "Zombie Run", while Greg and Anna-Kat get a little too much in character for the "zombie" part of the run.

When Anna-Kat draws a super plus-sized portrait of Katie for the school art show, Katie sets out to retrieve it. Meanwhile, with Katie away, Doris is left in charge of Oliver and Taylor, and is determined to whip them into shape with her Tiger Mom skills.

Katie starts acting like the other Westport moms just to get Anna-Kat an invitation to a popular girl's birthday party.

Katie's mother shows up for Thanksgiving.

Katie and Greg throw themselves into PTA politics when they learn that Anna-Kat's special needs teacher, Dr. Ellie, has been cut from the school budget. Greg gets elected to the PTA, but Katie may not be able to keep her mouth in check long enough to win the votes they need.

Oliver takes dancing and manners classes in hopes of getting the girl he likes to go to the Westport Cotillion with him, and asks for his dad's help in keeping it secret from Katie.

Katie's holiday spirit is soured when Viv corners her into helping out with the school Christmas pageant. Greg, determined to teach Taylor and Oliver the true meaning of Christmas, takes them to a local nursing home to cheer up the residents.

Katie and Greg are thrilled that Anna-Kat has a play-date, until they learn that she's a budding kleptomaniac.

A snowstorm leaves the Ottos stranded.

Katie ambushes Oliver with a surprise birthday party.

The Ottos' house is put up for sale.

Greg befriends a fellow history buff who happens to be married to Katie's nemesis.

Katie is fed up with the family complaining about her meddling in everything they do, so she decides to back off and let everyone fend for themselves. Meanwhile, incensed that she got sold defective trash bags at the local grocery story, Katie decides to fight back.

Katie encourages Viv to stand up to her boorish husband, Alan, but things backfire when Viv succeeds and decides to leave him - and move in with the Ottos.

Greg Otto has a motto: "Never quit." Greg challenges Katie and daughter Taylor to live by the motto despite their desires to quit. Meanwhile Oliver's vision board causes speculation.

When Doris insists that Katie attend the charity polo match she's organizing, Katie invites her crass best friend from college, Billy, to inject some life into the festivities.

Anna-Kat tells her parents that all she wants for her birthday is a chance to walk the three blocks to the library alone. Meanwhile, Greg has a hard time adjusting to the fact that Taylor has a boyfriend, and Katie is annoyed that Oliver's entitled friend Cooper Bradford seems to be spending every waking moment at the Ottos.

Anna-Kat is scared to take a bath for fear of drowning and Katie is scared of the moms judging her body if they go swim together in the club pool, Taylor has to stand up to Doris for expecting her to babysit and Oliver teaches Greg a little about style.

Katie and Greg enjoy a night on the town with Angela's ex after she helps Greg land a book deal, but Angela's ex soon accuses Katie of being a bad friend.
