Cracking Up is an American television sitcom created and written by Mike White. It aired on the Fox Network on Monday nights from March 9–May 5, 2004; it only aired six of the twelve produced episodes. Psychiatrist Dr. Bollas is assigned to examine Tanner Shackleton, a child of a Beverly Hills family, only to discover that Tanner doesn't have any problems — his family does. The story is in fact about Ben Baxter, a student who moves into the Shackletons' guest house, interacting with Tanner and his crazy family.
