Darryl Hughley, who owns his own vending machine business, moving out of from South Central to West Hills, a predominately white neighborhood within the San Fernando Valley. Darryl and his family try to adjust to living in an all-white area, at the same time trying to not forget who they are and where they came from. Darryl and Yvonne befriend their new neighbors Sally and Dave who are literally the polar opposite of Darryl. The story has many racial themes to it but are usually comedic as Darryl makes fun of other races, especially his white and Korean neighbors.

 

"I Have a Scheme"

When Michael leads the neighborhood effort to rename their street after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Darryl puts the plan into jeopardy by alienating a neighbor with a particularly egregious breach of political correctness. Meanwhile, Sydney uses VIP concert tickets to bribe her way into the popular school crowd, only for one of them to talk her into drinking her first beer.

 

"Bored of the Rings"

Darryl is shocked to learn his parents have split up, and attempts to facilitate a reconciliation. Meanwhile, Michael attempts to choreograph Sydney's talent show in an effort to make a lasting impression on her girlfriends.

 

"You've Got Male"         

Sydney receives a new computer, but is warned not to go into any chat rooms, which she does. Meanwhile, Carly is having difficulties with her songwriting assignment, so Yvonne attempts to help using a poem Darryl made to fall in love with her, only for it to be based on a Barry Manilow song. Also, the adults are convinced Michael may have begun relieving himself when at home.
