“NBC is excited to showcase ‘In-Laws’ in a special fashion that will not force the audience to wait a week for a second helping,” said Jeff Zucker, President, NBC Entertainment. “We think this demonstrates our faith in the pedigree of its ‘Frasier’ producers and in its multi-generational appeal at this hour.”

The comedy from the producers of NBC’s “Frasier” features a relationship between “natural enemies” - father-in-law versus son-in-law - as they “fight” for the love of one woman. Newlyweds Matt (Elon Gold, “Clerks”) and Alex (Bonnie Somerville, NBC’s “Friends”) move in with her parents (Dennis Farina, “Get Shorty,” and Emmy winner Jean Smart, “Designing Women”) to save money so Matt can attend cooking school, forever changing the dynamics of this loving family.

The challenges are great as Matt clashes with Victor Pellet (Farina), his overprotective, gruff father-in-law. A self-made man, Victor owns a private security firm and routinely takes offense at every turn -- often insisting on so much “private convo time” that the boxed-in Matt feels more like an outlaw than an in-law. Meanwhile, Marlene (Smart), Matt’s sleek mother-in-law, trades in her designer apron for a real-estate license. Alex, works as a nurse when she’s not mediating between her father and husband.

Mark Reisman (“Frasier,” “Wings”) is the executive producer and creator of “In-Laws” from NBC Studios, Paramount Television and Grammnet Productions. Multiple Emmy winner Kelsey Grammer (“Frasier”) also is executive producer.

JEAN SMART AND DENNIS FARINA STAR IN SERIES PREMIERE -- This cross-generational, domestic comedy from the producers of NBC's "Frasier" features newlyweds Matt (Elon Gold, "Clerks") and Alex (Bonnie Somerville, NBC's "Friends"), who move in with her parents (Dennis Farina, "Get Shorty," and Emmy Award winner Jean Smart, "Designing Women") to save money so Matt can attend cooking school. As soon as he crosses the threshold, Matt clashes with Victor Pellet (Farina), his overprotective, gruff father-in-law who owns a private security firm and routinely takes offense at every turn -- often insisting on much "private convo time." Meanwhile, Marlene (Smart), Matt's sleek mother-in-law, trades in her designer apron for a real-estate license while his new wife Alex works as a nurse. The misunderstandings and hair-trigger relationships make a rocky start for the exasperated Matt and Alex, whose every move is seemingly checkmated - especially when they loudly break Alex's hand-crafted childhood bed on their first night under the Pellet's roof.
