* AManIsAlwaysEager: Subverted! When the Golds leave Kenny alone at home with his boyfriend Dylan, Dave has to have "the talk" with Kenny because, he reasons, men are animals and a man, unlike a woman, is never going to say "no". But when Kenny is finally alone with Dylan, he immediately blurts out he doesn't want to have sex with him and that he's a virgin. Dylan admits the situation is new to him too and also doesn't want to have sex yet. They wind up watching ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' together instead.

American sitcom that lasted two seasons on {{Fox}}, from 2005 to 2007. The premise is that Michael Rapaport plays father and husband David Gold and has to deal with the chaos that is his family.
One of the big gimmicks of the show was the constant Fourth Wall breaking and having a character go into a white void to confess something to the audience.
The family members were:
* David: Father and husband, lazy, loud and obnoxious.
* Vicky: Mother and wife, pretty much the [[StraightMan Straight Woman]].
* Hillary: The oldest child and typical 17-year-old daughter who dates.
* Larry: The middle child at 16, a rather geeky effeminate boy, who Dave thinks is gay, but is actually heterosexual.
* Mike: The youngest child at 14; he is the snarker among the children.
Of note was the recurring character Kenny, Larry's best friend, who had a crush on Larry and came out in the second season.
