Career

Greg Garcia launched his television career in the early 1990s after moving to Los Angeles. He started with a writing job on the short-lived ABC sitcom On Our Own (1994–95) and spent several years as a writer and story editor on Family Matters.

During this time, he co-created and executive produced brief series like Built to Last (1997) and Getting Personal (1998). Garcia also served as a consulting producer on Family Guy before landing his first major success as co-creator and executive producer of the long-running CBS sitcom Yes, Dear (2000–2006).
