Irish Catholic couple Sean and Claudia Finnerty live in Staten Island, New York with their three children--Lily, Jimmy, and Henry. They get into all sorts of trouble, usually because of Sean's brother Eddie, who's got connections all over town. Sean and Eddie's father Walt often drops by and shares in the disaster. Most adventures are later recalled and they find out exactly what happened, like when the family car was supposedly stolen, when Sean's credit card was mysteriously maxed out, and even when Sean causes a blackout on Super Bowl Sunday. All this and more, and because Sean and Claudia were young and carefree when they got married and had kids, they are now grounded for life.

 

"Just Like a Woman" 

The boys mock Sean when he cannot get the lug nuts off the car, and Claudia must attract a trucker's attention to change the flat tire while Sean sits in drag in the backseat. Eddie holds a garage sale at Sean's house, featuring hot merchandise and Sean's possessions, and welcomes the kids to partake. But Lily is mortified when Brad buys her bra and boasts to the school that he and Lily have slept together.
