i bet it starts as an interesting initial premise that gets dragged out to infinity and boredom

Set in suburban Louisville, Colorado, Engvall plays Bill Pearson, a family counselor who can’t always figure out his own family.

Engvall and Travis offer a humorous look at what it takes to be a parent in today’s world. They face day-to-day parenting issues like allowance controversies, driver’s licenses and parking tickets, as well as larger issues like raising responsible children in today's world. They do all this while trying to keep the spark alive in their marriage and balancing work with family life.

Engvall says:
“ One of the things I talk about in my act is that, as a parent, all you’re basically doing is keeping a lid on things until the kids go to college. I want my show to be a reflection of real life and the real issues that parents and kids face each day. ”

Teenage daughter Lauren (Lawrence) is a typical high-school girl who is trying to find her way through classes and dating. Dim but lovable Trent (Martin) is the middle child. Bryan (Gisondo) is the resident baby and Brainiac of the family.

Bill works in the same building as his closest friend, Paul Dufrayne (Meadows). Paul is a hair-replacement specialist who is treated like part of the Pearson family. The Pearsons often need to save Paul from his own neuroses.
