Complete Savages Synopsis, for those who don't know - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This is the show's synopsis, from ABC's site:

From Emmy-winning writers/executive producers Julie Thacker-Scully, Mike Scully and Academy Award-winning director and producer Mel Gibson, Complete Savages chronicles the amusing and chaotic trials and tribulations of a father single-handedly raising five teenage boys. Think Clint Eastwood raising the Baldwin Brothers. Complete Savages is the rare family sitcom that doesn't have a wife to point out every week what dopes men are. These guys can do it on their own.

As a single father of five teenage boys growing up in New England, Nick Savage (Keith Carradine) faces the daunting challenge of trying to control the mayhem. A career firefighter, he finds running into a burning building a relaxing break from his parental duties.

Sam Savage (Andrew Eiden) is the most responsible and studious of the Savage boys, which isn't saying much. He endures a lot of button pushing from his brothers, especially when it comes to girls. Jack (Shaun Sipos) is a good-looking (think Johnny Depp, but cool and good-looking), mellow and popular guy whose passions are looking cool and playing guitar with the family dog (think Lassie, but cool and good looking.)

Chris (Erik von Detten) is a good-natured but gullible jock whose goal is to be in the Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue. Kyle (Evan Ellingson) is an energetic and self-interested 14-year-old boy who believes Johnny Knoxville should be our next president. His goal is to be a contestant on Fear Factor. Lastly, at 13-years-old, T.J. (Jason Dolley) is the youngest of the brood. He has spent most of his life in a headlock. A born entrepreneur, T.J.'s only leverage over his brothers is that he always has money and they always need money. He's very active on eBay and will sell anything that's not nailed down in the house – whether it belongs to him or not.

Jimmy (Vincent Ventresca) is Nick's younger brother and fellow firefighter. He often gives Nick advice about raising the boys, but the truth is, beyond his heroic career, Jimmy has very little responsibility, and at times takes on the role of Nick's sixth son.
