David Garrison played Steve Rhoades, the first husband of Marcy D'Arcy (Amanda Bearse). Marcy is a bit of a dominant woman (to put it lightly) and ruled her rather put upon husband. Garrison appeared quite regularly through the first four seasons of the show.

Steve: " Oh, what time does it come on?"
Marcy: " Steve, we hate wrestling!"
Steve: " I know. I just wanted to know how late midgets got to stay up."
