CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE stars Emmy Award nominee John Goodman in a comedy about a family man who, by default, is the go-to guy for his eccentric extended clan. John (Goodman) and Kate Barnett (Jean Smart) are still very much in love after 20 years of marriage and are looking forward to the next 20. Only one thing interrupts their bliss: John's family. His sex-obsessed father, Art (Ed Asner), and his loopy mother, Marge (Olympia Dukakis), have a penchant for coming over unannounced, ready to stir the pot. The owner of a security company, John has just hired his gleefully oblivious brother, Tommy (Diedrich Bader), who is having trouble wrapping his mind around the concept of office hours. John's sister, Lily (Melinda McGraw), is a therapist who is her own best patient. If all that is not enough, their 12-year-old son, Miles (Spencer Breslin), has the makings of a perfectly nutty third-generation Barnett. As the family patriarch, John, with Kate's help, fights an uphill battle to keep the peace while his oddball family spins around him.
