Synopsis: MIKE GRUBB (Randy Quaid) is one of a long line of underachieving Grubbs. Mike believes that the key to happiness is setting the bar very, very low -- and if that doesn't work -- setting it even lower. For Mike, his two proudest achievements are finding a loving, supporting (and some would say co-dependent) wife, ROSIE GRUBB (Carol Kane), who believes he is the most perfect man on earth, and his monthly disability check -- the result of a career-ending, industrial "accident."

Mike's oldest son, the simplistic, enthusiastic and occasionally destructive JIMMY GRUBB (Brian Sites), is a chip off the underachieving block. Thirteen-year-old MITCH GRUBB (Michael Cera) has begrudgingly accepted his destiny of hopeless mediocrity. A C-minus student and poor athlete (but with a big heart), Mitch's biggest dream is to fly under everybody's radar.

But hope finally knocks on Mitch's door in the form of his beautiful new teacher, MS. KRENETSKY (Lori Rom), who sees his potential and teaches him to dream. As for Mitch, he is sure he has found his soulmate. But the course of true love runs anything but smooth. Not only is Mitch plagued by the affections of the town's weird girl CRICKET (Alexandra Krosney), but Ms. Krenetsky becomes romantically involved with Mitch's gym teacher and arch nemesis, COACH GARRA (Ricardo Antonio Chavira).

The GRUBBS is a comedy series about small victories -- and about a boy with the hope, heart and sheer force of will that it takes to rise above his fate.
