You Again? is an American situation comedy based on the British sitcom "Home To Roost" that was broadcast by NBC from February 27, 1986, to March 30, 1987, for two seasons.

Now, seven years later, he's on his father's doorstep—and his dad, Henry Willows (Jack Klugman), is not thrilled. This kid is less than a model teenager: he drinks, he smokes, he curses, he lies.

Henry makes him drop most of those bad habits, and Matt brings a little youthful exuberance into the Willows household, which includes Enid (Elizabeth Bennett), the part-time housekeeper.
