Synopsis
'Til Death is a sitcom featuring Everybody Loves Raymond star Brad Garrett and Wild Card lead Joely Fisher as Ed and Joy Stark, who are on day 8,743 of their marriage and have the battle scars to prove it.
Their new next-door neighbours are young newlyweds Steph and Jeff Woodcock - idealistic, passionate, adorable and married for all of 12 days.
Through the two couples the show explores new marriage versus old marriage and looks at how to keep romance alive - or at least stay together so you have someone to drive you to the hospital for your operations.
Eddie is a cynical realist who considers himself an expert on most topics. A high school history teacher, he's learned the lessons of history well and applies the basic principles to his marriage: all fights are about power, land and resources - and women love to kill fun.
A veteran of the marriage wars, Eddie freely gives his advice to the younger, idealistic Jeff, who's the new Vice Principal at Eddie's school.
Of course, Eddie's little secret is that he loves Joy more than anything and however brash and sardonic Joy herself appears, she loves Eddie right back.
