      Earl Pickles is a retiree with way too much free time on his hands. His main hobbies are teaching his grandson important things, like that the best way to
find something you lost is to buy another, and driving his wife Opal crazy
.
  Opal Pickles is a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, Red Hat Lady and cat
servant. She loves Earl, but don't ask her to choose between Earl and Muffin.
    Nelson is the grandson of Earl and Opal. He likes staying with them because they have the same bedtime as him.
  Sylvia is the daughter of Earl and Opal, and mother of Nelson by
a previous marriage. She is a Type A personality in a Type D family.
    Dan, a wildlife photographer, wished for and won Sylvia's hand in marriage. If life with Sylvia
and Nelson were meat and potatoes, life with Earl and Opal for in-laws would be the appetizer... mixed nuts.
  A cat with little patience for humans, Muffin tries to maintain
her superiority over them while having to beg for Meow Mix.
      Roscoe is a dog of little brain and uncertain pedigree. His one regret in life is that he wasn't born a golden retriever.
  Clyde is Earl's buddy and fellow park-bench philosopher. His out-of-
control hair is the result of a hair plug transplant operation gone awry
.
        Emily is a swinging single girl who just happens to be in her seventies. Need we say more?
