The friendship between Freddie and Chris in the show was loosely based on Conrad Jackson and Freddie's real-life friendship. It was reported by Variety on May 12, 2006, that ABC had decided not to renew the series, which was confirmed on May 15, 2006. The show aired in reruns on Sí TV in the United States, and on Trouble in the UK until the channels closed. The show also had a crossover episode with George Lopez.
Freddie makes a date with a hostess from his restaurant on the same night he's agreed to watch Zoey. Luckily, Chris steps in to babysit, but when Sofia returns early, Freddie's busted. Meanwhile Freddie's wild sister-in-law, Allison, is having a breakdown after the death of Freddie's brother, Joe, so he reluctantly invites her to come live with the family until she gets herself together.
After Freddie and Chris' trip to Los Angeles to investigate whether or not Zoey's internet friend is genuine or a predator, they realize that George's son, Max, really is a kid and invite them to Chicago so that Max and Zoey can finally meet face to face. When George sees how well off Freddie is, he teases him that he's "soft," so Freddie takes him to a rowdy bar in his old neighborhood to prove he hasn't lost his edge. But when they get involved in a bar fight and end up in jail, Freddie and George realize that they've both lost their edge and don't mind being a little "soft".
