Rodney's daily life revolves around his family – his wife Trina (Jennifer Aspen) and his sons Jack (Oliver Davis) and Bo (Matthew Josten).
He also spends a lot of time with his best friend Barry Martin (Nick Searcy) who constantly tries to escape his wife Genie, and with his crazy sister-in-law Charlie (Amy Pietz).
One recurring character is Trina's father, Carl (Mac Davis), who is constantly lending or giving the family money, much to Rodney's dismay.
Another recurring character is police officer Gerald Bob (Jon Reep), who has a sexual relationship with Charlie.
The final six episodes were not aired in the United States, however they were shown in Australia on the Seven network in October 2006 and on ABC1 in the UK (before that channel closed in 2007).
