Yes, Dear, the beloved sitcom that captured hearts during its original run from 2000 to 2006, has found a new home on Amazon Prime, giving both longtime fans and newcomers a chance to experience this classic family comedy.
What Makes Yes, Dear Special?
The show follows two couples living under one roof – Greg and Kim Warner, along with Kim’s sister Christine and her husband Jimmy Hughes, plus their respective children. What makes this sitcom particularly endearing is how it captures the everyday chaos of family life with a perfect blend of humor and heart. The dynamic between the two very different couples – the more uptight Warners and the laid-back Hughes – creates endless opportunities for comedy.
Streaming Availability and Quality
As of 2025, all six seasons are available in their entirety on Amazon Prime, with episodes streaming in good quality despite their age. Prime members can watch at no additional cost, while non-members can purchase individual episodes or complete seasons.
Why It’s Worth Watching Now
You know what’s fascinating about watching Yes, Dear today? It’s like opening a time capsule of early 2000s family life, but the core themes about parenting, relationships, and family dynamics remain surprisingly relevant. The show tackles universal situations – like dealing with in-laws, parenting disagreements, and career struggles – in ways that still resonate with modern audiences.
Fan-Favorite Episodes to Start With
If you’re new to the series, I’d recommend starting with “Jimmy’s Jimmy” from Season 1, which perfectly establishes the show’s dynamic. The chemistry between Mike O’Malley (Jimmy) and Anthony Clark (Greg) is particularly enjoyable in this episode. Another standout is “The Daddies Group,” which hilariously explores modern parenting challenges.
Streaming Tips
Here’s a pro tip for Prime viewers: Use the X-Ray feature while watching to get interesting behind-the-scenes information and identify guest stars – there are some fantastic cameos throughout the series that you might miss otherwise. You can also download episodes for offline viewing, perfect for those long flights or commutes.
What’s particularly nice about having Yes, Dear on Amazon Prime is the ability to skip around between seasons while still following the overall narrative. Unlike some sitcoms that require strict chronological viewing, you can jump into almost any episode and quickly understand what’s happening, though watching in order does provide the best experience for character development.
Remember to add the show to your watchlist – Prime sometimes rotates content, though as of 2025, Yes, Dear appears to be a stable part of their library. Whether you’re revisiting this gem or discovering it for the first time, it’s a delightful addition to Amazon’s growing collection of classic sitcoms.
