In the 1980s, geeky Adam uses a video camera to document his family's crazy life. His mother, Beverly, is overprotective and lacks boundaries, while his dad has a hot temper and finds it difficult to parent without screaming. Rounding out the clan are Adam's terrifying sister, Erica; his older brother, Barry, who has middle-child syndrome; and the family's beloved grandfather, Al "Pops" Solomon. Pops is responsible for wild antics, including offering drinks to Barry and teaching Adam about the ways of love -- which create more chaos in an already high-strung family.

Murray takes Adam out for a driving lesson, and they learn something new about Pops in the process; Erica struggles with making friends.

Geoff's terror over Beverly controlling all baby-care duties turns into a jump-scare-filled comedic thriller; Adam is excited to spend Halloween visiting Dave Kim at NYU, but his feelings change when he discovers his friend has reinvented himself.

Adam and Barry don't get the reaction they expect from Murray when they write a song called "Dads Just Don't Care"; Beverly takes drastic measures to change Erica's mind about needing some space.

The country music craze hits the town, and everyone is line dancing; Adam scores a new job, but his lack of time to spend with Pop-Pop results in some comically disastrous outcomes.
