The O'Keefes is an American television sitcom created by Mark O'Keefe, that aired on The WB from May 22 to June 12, 2003.

Premise

The series was about the O'Keefe family: Harry and Ellie, together with their children, Lauren, Danny and Mark. The plot centered on the fact that the O'Keefe parents had homeschooled their children for most of their lives and with the dramatic and comic interest arising in situations where the children were beginning to experience the outside world.

There was a lot of controversy about this show among parents who homeschool their children, as they felt it portrayed homeschooling in a negative light.[1]
