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. When Matthew Willows (John Stamos) was 10 years old, his parents got divorced, and Matthew chose to live with his mother. 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. Not that Henry, a grouchy old bird, is any prize himself. But Matt moves in "temporarily." 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.
