Premise
The Bennett-Blatt family does not have much in common with each other as they go through their every day lives in Akron. When a foghorn is heard, the actors break character to have the live-studio audience decide what happens next. From there, the live-studio audience gets to vote on what happens to the family and is presented with three choices during certain scenes. If there is a tie between two of the choices, both of those choices will take place.
