<DIV><FONT color=black size=2 face=arial>It follows a newly engaged couple, Giles and Jordan, as they journey through four different households and four unique sets of parents: the Mother and Father who have taken the typical 1950's television family as their role model; the White Trash Mom and Pop who love their big hair and whiskey, respectively; the liberal "Mums" and "Pups" acedemics who know how to write about parenting better than actually practicing it and finally, the gentile Southern Belle school teacher who may or may not be delusional.</FONT></DIV>
