My Grounded for Life Shrine
(1/10/2001 - 1/28/2005)
This is Sean, Eddie, and Jimmy as shown in the opening credits.
Here is an overview of the show.
Where it is set:
Staten Island (Though it was filmed in Los Angeles.)
Air Dates:
1/10/2001 - 1/28/2005, making five seasons total, and about 93
episodes. (Two are unaired from Season IV, and they are at the end
of the Season III DVD set.)
Family life shown through flash backs of what supposedly happened
and what really happened. How to raise your kids, and your parents.
Parenting advice from the old school dad. The first two seasons had
lots of 1980s flashbacks.
The first season showed life at Catholic school in many episodes.
What is unusual is the characters look like people you could really
know. Episode titles are derived from songs.
The Finnerty House
Smells like playdough and bacon according to Claudia,
in Season IV. Eddie started living in the basement during the
final season.
The Finale
Aired on 1/28/2005. I won't list any spoilers, if you haven't seen
it, but it is one of the few finales I have watched that I really
liked. Henry is only mentioned in it. Sister Helen and Walt are
definitely in it, though.
Networks
Fox (1/2001 - 12/2002), WB (1/2003 - 1/28/2005)
The show was more musically oriented during the first two seasons
and the flashbacks were more pronounced.
Brad was shown more and Walt was shown less after the start of
Season III. Season III is confusing to follow.
All five seasons were released on DVD and I do recommend them if you
are a fan of the show. I just got Season IV on DVD and the picture
quality is incredible! As of 2018 this site still gets visits mainly
from the US. I will leave this site online as long as I am alive.
I have a BA in Spanish from San Jose State
University from 1995. I speak English and Spanish. I speak some
Swedish and Dutch. I speak a little Latvian. I have worked as a
Spanish translator since I was 24. I have translated movie
scripts. I am not on the social media because SELLOUTS ARE NOT
FAMILY. Email: traductor_eric at yahoo.com.ar
