Plot
Juliet, a student about to begin college, is sent to lodge with another family who live nearer to her campus, but Juilet, with her upper-class roots, is in for a shock when she meets her new family. Bob and Betty Newbie are a working-class married couple with a daughter called Brandi. Bob is happily unemployed and spends his days lazing about on the sofa and coming up with new ways to inadvertently irritate Betty. Betty wants better for the family but with a low salary and no help from her husband, this is impossible. Poor Juliet also has to contend with Brandi, who has obvious feelings for her and isn't afraid to be slightly creepy about it.

Juliet soon gets used to life with the Newbie's and even decides to stay with them rather than taking up an offer from her Father to get her own house.

Episodes
Airdates are given as each episode's first appearance on SimTV. The first season was co-written by Sam and Rob, but Rob departed afterward and the second will be written by Sam. Rob did later return for the final two episodes of the season season.
