Season 8 was the first season of the series to premiere in January rather than its traditional fall release window after FOX adjusted its programming schedule. It also explored new family dynamics as the Baxter household became quieter with the daughters moving into adulthood, giving Mike and Vanessa a chance to rediscover life as an almost empty-nest couple.
Another memorable storyline involved Vanessa’s campaign for the State Assembly, which introduced political humor and new challenges for the Baxter family. Kristin’s pregnancy also became one of the season’s biggest storylines, eventually leading to the birth of her second child near the end of the season.
