‘Life in Pieces’: Tim’s Post-Heart Attack Emotions Drive the Family Bonkers (VIDEO)

Life after surviving a heart attack is a stressful time for the patient… but if we’re talking CBS’s sitcom, Life in Pieces, it’s also stressful for the entire Short family.

In this week’s episode, “Sonogram Frog Rub Family,” Tim (Dan Bakkedahl) has recovered from his near-fatal heart attack and has a newfound zest for life. The only problem is that zest has also made him super clingy and emotional to the point that he’s driving the entire family crazy.
