ROB SCHNEIDER, CHEECH MARIN AND EUGENIO DERBEZ STAR IN "ROB," A NEW COMEDY PREMIERING THURSDAY, JAN. 12 ON CBS

"Pilot" - After eloping in Las Vegas, Rob meets his wife�s large Mexican-American family for the first time and, after unsuccessfully attempting to fit into his new cultural surroundings, realizes he�s the odd man out in this tight-knit family, on the series premiere of "Rob," Thursday, Jan. 12 (8:31-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

"Rob" is a comedy starring Rob Schneider as a lifelong bachelor who just married into a tight-knit Mexican-American family. Rob is a successful landscape architect who, after a whirlwind romance, marries Maggie, a beautiful, smart book translator who is way out of his league. After eloping in Las Vegas, Maggie and Rob must break the news to her overprotective, judgmental parents, Rosa and Fernando, that they are married. Shocked by news that they've eloped, the family remains skeptical of Maggie�s choice for a husband, with the exception of her uncle Hector, the black sheep of the family, who immediately declares himself Rob�s best friend. Rob hopes he will one day win over his new in-laws, aunts, uncles and Maggie�s wild-card grandmother, Abuelita, and live happily ever after with his one true love, Maggie.
