Shaky Ground was an American television sitcom series, created by Bob Keys, Chip Keys, and Doug Keyes, that aired on the Fox network from December 27, 1992 to
May 23, 1993 for one season and 17 episodes. The show starred Matt Frewer, Robin Riker, Matthew Brooks, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Bradley Pierce. Bob Moody was
mid-life, mid-career, middle-management and middle-class. He worked as a quality-control inspector for United General Technologies. He loved his family and worked
hard to support them, but in some ways was struggling with adulthood as well. Episodes often focused on Bob's thwarted ambitions at work, or the fact that he was
not a traditional husband and father at home. Bob managed to get by as a result of finding the confidence to accept himself. Some episodes were rather surrealistic
in nature, such as Bob trying an experimental hair-restoration product that slowly turned him into a werewolf, in others he takes up a combination of martial arts and
jazz dancing, to protect his family's right to visit a restaurant after a bully from work threatens him. Other episodes were more down to earth, such as Bob staging a sit-in in his younger
son's treehouse in order to protest oppressive zoning laws which demand the treehouse be demolished. In another episode his daughter asks him to stay in the kitchen and not embarrass
her at her first party, but when it flops, he livens it up with disco music and a game of Twister to everyone's delight and helps his daughter approach a boy she likes. However outlandish
the situations became, the series was always grounded in family life.
