Okay, this one was not hard for me to choose at all. There are a few television programs I enjoy now and then, but this is the one show that I absolutely love and could watch over and over again: Grounded for Life.
This was a FOX show that aired for a few years in the early 2000s. I freakin love it.
According to Wikipedia (which is much better at summing it up than I): " The show is set in an Irish neighborhood in Staten Island, New York and is about the comedic interplay of the Irish Catholic Finnerty family. One of the central aspects of the show is that Sean and Claudia Finnerty had their first child and got married when they were only eighteen years old. Thus, while they have three children, including a teenage daughter, the two parents are themselves relatively young and not out of their "wild" years. (In one episode, where Sean goes to pick up his daughter at a police station and is mistaken for her drug dealer, his father quips, "That's what happens when you're 17 and don't know what a condom is!") The show features an unusual style of storytelling, often starting with a scene at the end of the story or sometimes in the middle and filling in the gaps with flashbacks. Its main concepts are an Irish Catholic family with three children - one girl and two boys - surviving one catastrophe after another, utilizing flashbacks to further explain current situations they find themselves in. The opening sequence is set to a guitar theme, performed by the band Ween, that also serves as the music between scenes."
I love every character in the show. If you haven't watched Grounded For Life before, you are seriously missing out. Check out the links below to see what you've missed!
