ABOUT THE SHOW: In the Baptist backwoods of the Bible Belt,the beleaguered Turpin family proves that living and dying in the South areseldom tidy and always hilarious. Despite their earnest efforts to pullthemselves together for their father's funeral, the Turpin's other problemskeep overshadowing the solemn occasion: Firstborn Ray-Bud drinks himself sillyas the funeral bills mount; Junior, the younger son, is juggling financialruin, a pack of no-neck monster kids, and a wife who suspects him of infidelityin the family car; their spinster sister, Delightful, copes with death as shedoes life, by devouring junk food; and all the neighbors add more than twocents. As the situation becomes fraught with mishap, Ray-Bud says to hislong-suffering wife, "When I die, don't tell nobody. Just bury me in thebackyard and tell everybody I left you." Amidst the chaos, the Turpinsturn for comfort to their friends and neighbors, an eccentric community ofmisfits who just manage to pull together and help each other through theirhours of need, and finally, the funeral.
