Summaries

Michael Kyle longs for a traditional life, but his day-trader wife Janet, gangsta rap-worshipping son Michael Jr., and brooding daughters Claire and Kady make his dream just that ... a dream.

Damon Wayans plays Michael Kyle, a man on a tragically funny quest for a "traditional" family. He's a not-so-modern man living in a very modern world. Can you relate? His stay-at-home wife (Tisha Campbell-Martin) became a stock-market trailblazer. His only son idolizes gangsta-rap stars instead of him. His moody adolescent daughter's two favorite hobbies are asking him for money and giving him grief. And his youngest daughter rarely lets her daddy have the last word. Perhaps after all of the chaos is over, he will realize that his dream of having a normal American family came true a long time ago.—Marek Horvat

A different kind of family who are living in the suburbs do their absolute best to live their lives in the best way as they can. Together, they try to experience and travel on multiple adventures and journeys where they can learn more about building and living their lives.—RECB3
