Spathe cake, then? To be served up after the spathe ham?

I want to see Jim+daughter hanging out at some place alone, talking about why Daddy is drinking.

Suddenly, spiders begin to crawl up Jim's legs...

Meh.  If he's raising a daughter by himself, that means he's seen some Pretty Heavy Stuff (I forget his particular backstory if its been revealed).  Either a wife who died, a wife so dysfunctional he was awarded custody, or one who simply had no interest in parenting.  The upshot is its very unlikely that the sight of this girl he dated once will cause him to spin into depression.  When you are 25, that kind of thing is a big deal.  When you are 35-40, not so much.

He's divorced, and had a fairly incompetent lawyer, but that's all I remember.

 He had a (rough) divorce more than a year ago, and had to fire his lawyer ; but now he gets along with his ex:
 
 

 They share custody over Sam,
 

 And i guess that's all you need to know  :-) .

That sort of goes to my original point.  Not quite as bad as some of the scenarios, but if he's watching his ex-wife in a new relationship, I doubt seeing this girl he dated once with somebody else is that much of a heart-stomping experience.  Probably somewhere between "Dang! They're out of BBQ Corn Nuts!" and "Dang! They Canceled Pushing Daisies/Sarah Connor Chronicles!" with a little bit of "I can't catch a break!"
I will say that usually romantic interests don't get to meet the kids until things are serious.

Are you talking about Dora meeting Sam, or Jim meeting Tai?   :-D

What, a smart, zany comedy that isn't about folks sitting around their apartments together?  I'm amazed it made it two seasons.
Don't worry, Wife Swap and The Bachelor(ette) are still going strong.  *eyes bulge in frustration*

However.  Are you aware of Wonderfalls?  It has a similar vibe.  Same writer I believe.  It also didn't run long.  But its absolutely worth watching.  The writer even tied it up in a nice bow when he found out it was being cancelled.

  • I always name them Bitey.

And in the a really odd alternate universe - George RR Martin is a prolific writer turning out several novels where the main and beloved characters never seem to die off per year

And also has a website which is not terrible.

Hey, I wouldn't call them fine, exactly. It's reaching the point where pretty much everyone in the whole series who isn't dead would be less miserable if they were. It's a whole new genre: Epic Fantasy Misery Porn.

Actually, he has an ulterior motive...
