''American Housewife'' is an Creator/{{ABC}} DomCom created by Sarah Dunn and starring [[Series/MikeAndMolly Katy Mixon]] and Creator/DiedrichBader.
Katie Otto is an average American housewife who, along with her husband Greg, tries her best to provide a good home for her three children. Unfortunately, the Ottos live in Westport, an extremely wealthy suburb where everyone is seemingly perfect and live lifestyles that are well beyond the Ottos' more modest means. In this environment, Katie has her hands full trying to keep her two eldest children from turning into complete brats while helping her youngest cope with OCD.
!!This series provides examples of:
* {{Adorkable}}: Greg is endearingly awkward and has certain character tics that Katie finds amusing. For example, before writing a paper, he will strike a power pose, listen to jazz, eat exactly seven almonds, and drink a glass of port before going to work.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Taylor is at an age where she's rebelling against her parents and, due to the influence of her classmates, thinks that she should focus on landing a rich husband rather than improving herself. Greg eventually shames her into studying and improving her grades.
* SuperOCD: Anna-Kat has OCD and the condition is presented realistically, albeit humorously. The Ottos moved to Westport because the local school has a special needs program that provides Anna-Kat with the extra attention she needs and Katie is often helping her daughter with various coping exercises so Anna-Kat won't completely fall into her rituals.
* YoungEntrepreneur: Oliver, upon finally realizing that his parents won't simply buy him whatever he wants, starts a lucrative career repairing and selling defective designer shirts and enlists the local housekeepers to to do the repair work.
