Goldberg一家和其他幸福和睦的家庭没有什么区别，只是家里个个都是大嗓门。老妈Beverly（Wendi McClendon-Covey）是个典型的「老妈爱死你」。她在这家人中拥有绝对的「权威」，而且从来不知道什么叫「界限」，什么叫「底线」。不过她那些气势压人的做法归根结底是为了保护家人——如果他们不觉得那是「保护过度」的话。老爸Murray（Jeff Garlin）是个性格急躁、脾气很坏的人，长期以来奉行「不骂不成材」的为父之道……直到最近心脏健康方面的原因导致他再也不敢高声叫喊。大姐Erica（Hayley Orrantia）17岁了，性感、刁蛮，谁也招惹不起。老二Barry（Troy Gentile）今年16，典型的「高分低能」学生，而且或多或少有一点「排行中间综合症」。Adam虽然年纪最小，但却很有天赋，没准他今后真的能当一个大导演？但是他现在面临一个大问题：他迷恋着年纪比他大许多的Zoe（她已经15岁了！），而且根本无法与Zoe的同龄人「抗衡」！这个家庭中最后一名成员是德高望重的外公Al “Pops” Solomon www.bwudi.com（George Segal）——人说「老小老小」，他果然是家里最「淘气」的一位。他主动教导Adam「追女孩的诀窍」……毫无疑问，那绝不是好事。家家都有一本难念的经，Goldberg家的事情，谁又能说得清呢？
Rae is pleased to have the apparently fearless Liam as her best, platonic friend, but is surprised that he wants to keep his group attendance secret. This spells trouble for Rae when Liam's violent girlfriend Amy, said to have been expelled from her last college for assault, threatens her and wants to know why they spend so much time together. She gives her until Friday. Liam refuses to tell Amy the truth but Rae sees he is not so tough when he breaks down and they kiss. Archie is also given the ultimatum by www.2kyb.com Lois to come out by Friday or else she will expose him. He suggests to Rae they run off together but she dissuades him and is pleased when Finn, anxious to resume a non-sexual friendship, offers to teach her self-defence. Come Friday Archie confesses to being gay to generally positive reactions whilst Amy crumbles when Rae tells her she kissed Liam. Back home Mum explains to Rae that she is converting to Islam as Karim, now a lollipop man, wants their baby born into the religion.
