Premise
The Bennett-Blatt family do not have much in common with each other as they go through their everyday lives in Akron, Ohio. When a foghorn is heard, the actors break character in order to have a live studio audience decide what happens next. From there, the audience gets to vote on what happens to the family, and they are presented with three choices during certain scenes. If there is a tie between two options, both of them will take place. No matter what happens, they'll have to "just roll with it", as said by the actors.
