Allison/Hagerty (Season 2, Episode 1)

PREMISE

In the deep south of Mississippi, Lydia Allison is an etiquette teacher. She teaches etiquette to the little southern ladies by day and her family by night. Etiquette rules include not sitting with your legs open, swallowing your burp, buttering your bread the correct way and not being a goop. "Goops are children who don't want to mind their manners" says Lydia. She, super polite husband Tim and kids Drew (16), Anne Elizabeth (14), and Margaret (11) have formal dinners together every evening. Tim does not want to be known as the parent of juvenile delinquents. Though there’s no chance of Drew becoming a juvenile delinquent since his father locked the 2nd door to his bedroom that leads to the outside. The kids have to do chores and dress appropriately.

In the Hagerty household in Massachusetts, manners are the last thing on anyone's mind. Maureen and her 3 kids Daniel (8), Jason (6) and Matt (5) have burping contests. The kids often run around in restaurants and stores taking things off the shelves, emptying coupon containers and poking holes in meat packages. Their favorite song is "kiss my butt". Maureen explains she was raised in a home with a lot of "do this and do that" and wants her kids to enjoy their childhood. The kids have no respect for their father, Danny Sr. who would like more discipline. Maureen doesn't care what other people think of her kids, and her house.  The beds are not made, piles of laundry are left on the kitchen table and bags of groceries are left out for days. Dining is never a formal occasion in the Hagerty household. They eat on the couch using paper plates.
