George is asked to join the local cricket team, but little does he know what he’s let himself in for. After a crash course on the rules of cricket from Janet, George takes to the field and decimates his own team with his over-zealous fielding, then surprises everyone by scoring a near-impossible twenty-four runs off the last four balls. Jealous Piers then challenges him to a series of other sporting events, only for George to become hooked on the sweet taste of victory - and become horribly attracted to it.

George is tricked into buying a life insurance policy, so to insure a quick payout, he walks under a bus, knowing full well that due to his superpowers, he will return to life immediately. However, his plan starts to crumble when he suffers a minor heart attack - leaving Janet to explain to everyone that her husband is dead. George begins to feel trapped by his non-existence, but soon hatches a plan to bring himself back to life, and discredit Piers at the same time. Meanwhile, Mrs. Raven beings to experiment with hypnotherapy.

George believes he has hit the jackpot when he discovers the wonder that is the ’Credit Card’ - but little does he realise that he has to repay all of the money he has spent. When the bills arrive, Janet discovers what has been going on, and devises a plan to win the money on the lottery, with the help of Ollie’s ubertalent and mind reading abilities. However, George isn’t out of the woods yet - as he has drawn the attention of the Lord High Arbiter of Abuses of Power.

George is asked by the Ultronian Council to write a progress report on humanity. All seems to be going well, until his new mind-reading powers reveal the true nature of human thought. The unpleasant thoughts of Stanley, Ella, and Mrs. Raven leave George in a state of despair. His sense of honesty forces him to write a damning report, and the Ultronian Council condemns the human race to death by laser. Only Janet can save the world - by convincing the four worst people in George’s report to donate money to a good cause.

On the way back from a trip to his home planet, George picks up a rather nasty parasital disease, which is fatal to humans. It isn’t long before his close friends and family catch the disease, and George is forced to admisiter the kiss of life to all of his nearest and dearest. Meanwhile, Piers has secured himself a new television series, Crispin, but his friends and family soon object to him exploiting Tyler live on air due to his mental problems. However, this soon proves the least of anyone’s problems, when George discovers he has passed on his super-powers through the kiss of life.

A faulty streetlight outside Stanley and Ella’s bedroom is keeping them awake at night, and getting the Council to mend it proves impossible. George decides to stand for Mayor, promising to fix the streetlight if elected, only to find that his opponent is none other than Piers. George wins unanimous approval when the voters respond positively to his refreshingly honest approach, but unfortunately, the pressures of Mayoral Office put an unreasonable strain on his marriage, causing Janet to move out. And matters are made even worse when Piers tries to sabotage his campaign.

Ollie’s half-human, half Ultronian physiology begins to cause problems when he starts to grow at an accelerated rate. In twenty-four hours, he grows from a nine-month-old baby into a nineteen-year-old boy, with a ’serious’ girlfriend. Janet and George are distraught at being robbed of the pleasure of watching their only son grow up. They employ the services of an eminent Ultronian doctor to cure their son, but things turn from bad to worse when Ollie turns into an eighteen-year-old girl.

Arnie is forced to turn consultant when the Ultronian Council send him to check up on Thermoman’s performance. He begins by conducting a Time and Motion study, and begins to make some changes. However, a plethora of customer satisfaction forms quickly hamper Thermoman’s ability to rescue the victims of natural disasters. Fearing for the world’s safety, George retires, but soon changes his mind when his replacement, Work Experience Boy, is unable to save Janet, who is trapped in the burning health centre.

George discovers that he has accidentally agreed to be a surrogate parent for a couple living on Ultron. Janet is forced to claim that George has been putting on weight - but when he gives birth, they discover that he has been carrying the son of an Ape couple, who have taken the form of what they believed to be the most intelligent beings on the planet. Meanwhile, Piers embarrasses himself, when having found the sonogram of the baby, he concludes that Stanley is actually the pregnant man, when in reality he is just suffering from kidney stones.

George’s April Fools joke backfires on him, and forces him to leave Janet to spend some time alone. However, when he returns, he discovers that he has been away seven years. He and Arnie decide to go back in time, using a dangerous series of time portals, to return everything to normal. However, George soon decides to use this to his advantage, and make little adjustments to life. However, as usual, his plans fail to work, and it soon results in Janet becoming bald, falling in love with Piers, having ten children, and Arnie becoming Janet’s father instead of Stanley.
