Episode 1
Meet the Nielsens
Fri, Jul 19, 1991
The Nielsens are a family of fictional characters from a 1950s sitcom that has been canceled. They have been relocated by the powers-that-be to a real world New Jersey suburb in present day 1991, which is different from the world they know. Lloyd and Honey Neilsen and their two children, Babs and Chucky, try to adopt to this modern world which is very different from their own 1950s world. They use a device called a Turnerizer to switch between color and black-and-white within their home. Mike Duff, the teenage son of the family next door, is the only real-world person who knows their secret. Honey gets him to promise never to reveal that he knows their secret. Lloyd suddenly springs a dinner on Honey that she wasn't expecting, and this time, she can't make a miracle happen. Mike begins to teach her about modern life.
Episode 2
Make My Bed
Fri, Jul 26, 1991
After a neighbor exposes himself and a robbery in their home, Honey goes to a self-defense class for women with Elaine, Mike's divorced mother. Lloyd prefers using his gun collection for home defense, which actually draws robbers to the house. In classic male form, Lloyd faints, but Elaine and Honey manage to repel the intruders, with Honey daring them to: "Go ahead, make my bed!"
Episode 3
Fur Flies
Fri, Aug 2, 1991
Lloyd forces Honey to choose between her marriage to him and her friendship with Elaine, leaving Honey quite depressed and Elaine quite irate. Lloyd gets an unexpected visit from Alice and Trixie (from the 'The Honeymooners' show), who indicate that he and Elaine have very similar qualities (which explains the marriage and the friendship), that Honey must be friendly with Elaine, and that women are much smarter than Lloyd thinks they are. Honey proves this by becoming Lloyd's temporary duplicate and clone, even handcuffing herself to him. Finally, she decides to "draw the line" and demand that he respect her friendships the same as she's always respected his.
Episode 4
Hi Mom, I'm Not Home
Fri, Aug 9, 1991
On Mike's birthday, Elaine wants to spend it with him, but she has to work again for another double shift, so he spends his time with Honey. Elaine feels this is a personal affront, because she and Mike were once best pals. Upon learning how Elaine feels, Honey beseeches help from Lucy Ricardo. At the same time, Mike makes another attempt to get Babs to notice him.
Episode 5
Grey Skies
Fri, Aug 16, 1991
Lloyd's inability to find a job leads to him losing his television person-hood and becoming a normal man with a severe case of depression. Elaine convinces Honey to take Lloyd to a therapist. She also gets him hired, but she pays his salary until Lloyd overhears her. Then Mike and company try to restore his spirits with a variation of "This is your life!" that doesn't go well. Lloyd only recovers when he gets a visit from Grandpa (Munster) Dracula.
Episode 6
SRP
Fri, Aug 23, 1991
The Nielsens have a chance to go back on the air, as a time slot has opened up and gives them a chance to return to their 1950s black-and-white TV world. But it's on the night before Mike has finally gotten Babs to go out with him. In desperation, he confesses the truth about the Neilsons to Elaine, who doesn't believe him, but she warns Honey to keep her family away from Mike after learning that he is around their house too much. This is a threat to their ability to return to television. Mike later steals the Turner-izer device, but has a nightmare about the consequences and returns it, bidding his 1950s friends a fond farewell. Honey realizes she can't abandon Mike, so she improvises a new script for the family to follow, with herself as a smoker, Babs as a mother, Lloyd as a transvestite, and Chucky as a tattooed delinquent. The SRP representative is not pleased, and gives the slot to the be-loathed Brady Bunch rep, Alice.
