Season 1

Paul plans to date Peter's cousin Hilary, who is extraordinarily rich, but Peter warns him that she also is a cheapskate.

When a young woman named Laurie McBain claims that the heroine in Paul's comic strip is based on her and sues him for invasion of privacy, he goes to court — where his attorney is a beautiful young woman who just graduated from Harvard Law School. Joanna Barnes and Vicki Trickett guest-star.

Paul has made it home to Malibu safely, but after Paul's escapades in Europe, Larsen is concerned that Paul could someday be in a serious, or even fatal, accident, bringing his comic strip — and the profits it generates for Larsen's company — to an end. To Paul's disgust, Larsen insures Paul's life for a substantial sum and hires an apprentice cartoonist, Emory Farnsworth, to assist Paul and learn to draw his strip so that he can cover for Paul if Paul ever is sidelined by injury. The eager Emory proceeds to drive Paul crazy because he thinks he has to do everything Paul does. Norman Fell, Jack Albertson, Joan Staley, Daniele De Metz, and Jane Wald guest-star.
