DESCRIPTION:
(from ABC's press release, March 2015) Chevy Chase returns to primetime and reunites with Beverly D'Angelo, his costar of the National Lampoon Vacation movies. They are Chev and Bebe-two baby boomers loving retirement since they gave up their house and its trappings for life on the road in an RV. But everything changes when they are left to raise their three Gen Z grandchildren: Taylor (14), the nerdy-handsome magician; Hope (12), the beautiful, smart and slightly sullen middle child; and Elliot (4), the ridiculously cute one. The generation gap is as big and obvious as their RV, which is now parked in front of their new house in a gated community in a Los Angeles suburb. All the neighbors welcome them including former hippies Andy and Debbie Coker and their daughter, Dawn who attracts the attention of Taylor. Trying to reconcile their retirement with being parents again, they take on their grandkids' school drama, tree house drama, and allergy drama... with only a couple visits to the ER. But then there's Molly drama. Molly is Chev and Bebe's opinionated youngest daughter and the kids' aunt who comes to visit with her boyfriend Amir, a slacker med student. Molly stirs up doubt about her parents' ability to raise their grandkids. Whether they like it or not, she's going to stay and help out. But who can raise these kids with more love than Chev and Bebe? Even though they might make lots of mistakes, they'll make sure their golden years are golden years for their grandkids as well. Writer Brad Copeland (My Name is Earl, Arrested Development) executive produces with Aaron Kaplan (Secrets and Lies, Neighbors).
