Not to be confused with "That's the Way of the World" by Earth, Wind & Fire, which was used as the show's theme song.Early 90s hybrid of Dom Com and Work Com, from the creator of Designing Women and starring John Ritter, Markie Post, and Billy Bob Thornton. The show centered around the work and family life of John Hartman and Georgie Ann Lahti.The first season focused on the initial relationship between the two; Hartman, an aide for the conservative Senator Smithers, has just found out that his ex-wife is now living with another woman. Out of desperation, Georgie, a very liberal journalist, begins working at Smithers' office and moves in with Hartman because she needs a place to stay. Naturally, something sparks between the two and they begin a relationship. Supporting players include brainless secretary Dee Dee Starr, John's two children, his best friend Billy Bob and his wife Mavis, and Georgie's father. They all get into some wacky antics interspersed with brief fits of anviliciousness. John and Georgie marry close to the end of the season.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The two later seasons of the show moved the action from Washington to the Midwest. Billy Bob divorced Mavis and moved to a new town with John and Georgie so that they could start a newspaper together. Practically the entire supporting cast was retooled; though John's children and Billy Bob remained, the rest were shoved aside. In their place we have sassy therapist Madeline, effeminate heterosexual oddball Lonnie, and Billy's mother. Georgie gave birth to a new child in the third season premiere. | |

| Hearts Afire / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Series creator Linda Bloodworth-Thomason was always upfront about her liberal ideology and had always planned to make the Southern Democrat senator a Strawman Policial buffoon, but made it a point that the character would refuse money from PACs or lobbyists. | |

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome | |
| Hearts Afire / int_c33ba0a8 | comment |
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: The pilot features an older black woman who is, essentially, Georgie's mammy (though Georgie, being PC, refuses to see it that way). She disappears and is never heard from again; we later hear about how Georgie's father raised her by himself. A lesser example is the Hartman family dog, who appears in the first episode of Season 2 and promptly vanishes, save for an audio-only appearance in a Season 3 episode. | |
