The series revolved around Francis "Pop" Cavanaugh, a 71-year-old, blue-collar Irish Catholic man living in South Boston with his daughter Kit and son Chuck, as well as Chuck's sons (one of whom was a Catholic priest) and daughter. Much of the show's humor stemmed from conflicts between the cantankerous, opinionated Pop and his grown children. After airing during the 1986-87 TV season, the show went on hiatus and returned in the Summer of 1988.[2] Cast- Barnard Hughes as Francis "Pop" Cavanaugh
