Center of the Universe is an American sitcom television series created by Nat Bernstein and Mitchel Katlin, that aired on CBS from October 27, 2004 until January 19, 2005. The show was cancelled after 10 episodes aired. It was set in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma. John Goodman starred as John Barnett, a good-natured and successful operator of a security company. Spencer Breslin plays his nutty, nerdy 12-year-old son. The series involved the dependency of his entire family (except his wife, but including his parents) on John for everything—money, jobs, housing, and personal guidance in every decision. Tagline: "The world doesn't revolve around John...but his family does." A total of 15 episodes were produced.
