In the opener, Lily attempts to get herself noticed by making out with the geek next door, Brad. Upon Dad's return from buying a bucket of fried chicken for the kids, he spies a couple making out in a car and spies on them excitedly. Dad promptly hurls the bucket of chicken, potato salad included, at the windshield of the car, attacks poor Brad, thereby mortifying Lily and sparking her confession of inadequacy. This leads to a scene of Mom's boobs and butt. Sadly, instead of dealing with the issue of insecurity and a young girl's self-esteem, as a good satirical sitcom should do it, pacifies the girl by having Dad give Lily her own phone line to make her happy.
Mom has the best quips and timing throughout the show.
Flying fried chicken was smartly flung a few times and good physical comedy was the norm. The boys, while being baby-sat by Walt, outsmart him. The show is not shown sequentially, but is shown in a combination of flashbacks and present day scenes.
