Constant conflict between evil natured adults and a purposefully mean kid. The only likable sane person is Ritter. A few laughs, but not all that amusing.

When Junior, Ben and Flo were invited to a little girls birthday party, the girl was disrespectful to Junior by at first saying she didn't want him at her party because he was adopted. Then when she is forced to invite him she is mean to him at the party by leaving him out of all the party games and telling him he can't watch her magic show. So therefore because of the way the girl treated him he gets even by destroying her party. Another time is when Junior plays baseball on the team that Ben is coaching, the boys all make fun of him there by calling Ben, his dad a dork so Junior knocks half the other team out with the baseball bat.
