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.

"You Better You Bet"

Claudia is upset with Sean when she finds out he gambled the money for the baby's crib and used the winnings to buy a new TV. When Claudia accidentally breaks the TV, she convinces Eddie to take her to the track to win money to repair the set. Meanwhile, Jimmy must endure a painfully long day of father-son bonding to keep Sean from finding out about the broken TV, and Lily enrolls in a Big/Little Sister program but is dumped by her Little Sister.
