Step by Step

Frank's kids are eager to compete in the rowdy Family Games--and Carol's are happy to let them.

Frank and Carol aren't clowning around when they retie the knot--at Brendan's birthday party.

Dana sneaks out to hear her favorite singer at a bikers bar.

Camping in the wilderness proves too much for Carol to bear.

An answering machine can be a lifesaver, but Karen doesn't get the message and, as a result, neither does Frank.

While discussing families on TV, the Lamberts and Fosters are told to forget the cameras and just be themselves--and unfortunately they do.

J.T. "borrows" Carol's car for a date, and someone "borrows" it from him; Penny dates a mortician who likes to talk shop at dinner.

Frank and Carol end up in a dumpster in search of the files Carol dumped; Dana and Karen pull a UFO trick on Cody and J.T.

Frank and Carol plan a weekend at a quiet retreat while Dana minds the kids at home. Is that how it works? No.

Dana passes her driving test with flying colors, but Frank flunks his.

Mark is doing the homework for a bully named Max; what's worse, Max is short for Maxine.

J.T. and Cody are dragged into replacing two of the four flu-stricken members of Al's all-girl rock band.

Carol returns to college as a student, but she's also a committed mother, wife, and beautician, and soon everyone's ready to be committed.

A country-club invitation works out nicely for everyone but Dana, who could club Frank over his hayseed ways.

Frank's dad, a widower, has a girlfriend who's a lot like Frank's mom--except she's a stripper.

Carol gives Frank flying lessons for his 40th birthday, and he gets a crash course when the instructor turns suicidal.

Carol and Karen enter a beauty pageant at Frank's Mallard Lodge, but can't cope with the judges' foul behavior.
