Fatherhood (2004)

S1E11 Family Table

The episode kicks off with Arthur and his dad enjoying a jog in the park. Arthur's father reminisces about their past attempts at family dinners, which often fell flat. He suggests that they try for a real family dinner again. Arthur proposes a friendly wager: if he wins, he'll gather the whole family for dinner, but if his dad wins, they’ll have a seafood dinner. They decide to swap jogging for a leisurely walk. Arthur gets busy planning the meal and shares the news with his family, who rally together to support him by attending the dinner, despite their prior commitments.
