title: Sleeping with Ward Cleaver
author: Gardiner, Jenny
description: Wham, bam, no-thank-you, ma'am.
  
  That about sums up the sex life of Claire Doolittle. Once the man of her dreams, her husband Jack is now a modern-day version of the bossy, flannel pajama-clad Ward Cleaver of '50s sitcom fame. Gone are the glorious days of flings in elevators and broom closets. They'd once had a world of color, of wanton frivolity. Now, life's black and white: a sitcom in reruns.
  
  Cue an old boyfriend--the "one that got away"--throw in a predatory hottie who's set her sights on our leading man, and Claire's life begins to look more like a horror flick than a sitcom.
