This sitcom chronicles the misadventures of teenager Chris as he grows up in 1980s Brooklyn. Chris is surrounded by eccentric family members, including frugal father Julius, intimidating mother Rochelle, spoiled sister Tonya and younger brother Drew, who is more popular than Chris. The show is based on the life of comedian Chris Rock, who serves as the narrator for the show and is also an executive producer.
Caruso relinquishes his role as school bully after he gets bullied himself; Julius secretly tries to find extra work when he must use his vacation days.
Chris ends up in traffic court after taking his father's car for a spin.
When the family gets a dog, Chris must train it to be an attack dog; Drew and Tonya must find new ways to amuse themselves without TV.
Because the family is sick, Mr. Omar agrees to look after Chris, who takes advantage of the situation by spending time alone with Tasha.
