==Plot== Successful stockbroker Jon Aldrich is living a good life with his wife, Audrey, and their two kids Kevin & Maggie until he encounters his elderly father, Harry, who has dementia and has accidentally burned down his own house. He tries to get his sister, Arlene (who has two sons Jerry & Steve but is an irresponsible gold digger), to take care of Harry and his wife, Mildred, but she won't even open the door. Consequently, Harry and Mildred have to move in with him and his family, causing his life to start going downhill.
