A working-class couple in Chicago tries to instill good values in their three kids, Brian (Taylor Ball), Lauren (Renee Olstead), and Tina (Soleil Borda), but their own past experiences often conflict with the lessons they teach their children. Judy Miller (Jami Gertz) is the attractive wife, who was wooed by Bill (Mark Addy). Judy's sister Linda (Jennifer Irwin) continuously butts heads with Bill.
Each of the episode titles begins with the word "Still", with the exception of the pilot.
Reruns of Still Standing aired on Lifetime from 2006 until 2009,[1] and ABC Family from 2010 until 2014.[2]

A 2002 Entertainment Weekly review gave Still Standing a "D" grade.[3] Michael Speier of Variety gave the series a negative review, commenting "yet another sitcom about dumb men and the women who love them, CBS' "Still Standing" gains little mileage out of a collection of punchlines that have turned up on every other half-hour since the dawn of time."[4] In a more favorable review from new website SFGate, Tim Goodman said ""Still Standing" is a funny show. It's funny the way "King of Queens" is funny. It's "Becker" funny. Meaning, if you fit into a certain demographic and like your comedy a certain way—bingo—it's a smash hit for you."[5] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 44% of 9 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 3.1/10.[6]
