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.

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.

Afraid of being alone in her old age, Beverly tries to bond with other moms; Erica gets annoyed at Geoff's romantic gestures.

Adam forgoes his weekly dinner date to hang out with his new colleagues; Beverly, worried sick that Adam is running in too fast a crowd, pulls out the ultimate stop to end it all; Barry realizes that medical school is tougher than he anticipated.
