There’s a new family moving into the ABC comedy lineup tonight, the O’Neals.

Remember the days of the traditional sitcom families?  Well those days are gone.  And ABC is moving with the times by offering non-traditional families on comedies like Black-ish, The Middle, Fresh Off The Boat and Modern Family.  Tonight, meet the newest family to join into this theme, O’Neals in the new comedy The Real O’Neals.

The description for the show:

The close-knit, Chicago-based O’Neals seem to be the perfect Catholic family, but when surprising truths come to light, some lives take an unexpected turn. Eileen, Pat, Kenny, Jimmy, Shannon and Jodi decide to let the honesty ring in a new, less tidy chapter of their story, where they all drop their carefully honed facades and discover the unexpected freedom that accompanies just acting real. Instead of being torn apart, the O’Neals find that their newfound way of life actually brings them closer together.

Viewers can expect some of the stereotypical humor that has becoming a hallmark of the ABC family sitcoms presented in refreshingly different ways.

The cast Martha Plimpton (Eileen O’Neal), Jay R. Ferguson (Pat O’Neal), Noah Galvin (Kenny O’Neal), Matt Shively (Jimmy O’Neal), Bebe Wood (Shannon O’ Neal) and Mary Hollis Inboden (Jodi O’ Neal) will bring something special to their roles.  I’m particularly interested in seeing the character of Eileen O’Neal as I am a fan of Martha Plimpton’s work.
