Mother Rochelle usually keeps a firm grip on the family, while their exhausted breadwinner father, Julius, struggles to catch a little sleep between jobs. Īt home, Chris is often left in charge of his siblings-his younger-but-bigger brother, Drew, and an ornery little sister, Tonya. The bright spot in school is Chris's best friend, Greg (played by Vincent Martella)-a smaller but similarly nerdy white kid. Morello, a well-meaning white teacher, treats Chris with naive, condescending assumptions derived from crude racial/ ghetto stereotypes. Ĭhris find the new school difficult to adjust to because of social ostracism and the ire of a red-haired bully named Caruso.

The series starts just after the parents have moved their children "out of the projects," and into a more-upscale two-story apartment in Brooklyn's Bedford–Stuyvesant neighborhood-known for its roughness as "Bed-Stuy, do-or-die." Ĭhris is a skinny, nerdy young teen. The real-life Chris Rock provides intermittent narration throughout the show, at times interjecting his young self's thoughts or sometimes simply recounting the situation he's describing.Ĭhris' family is firmly dominated by strong, loving parents: Julius, a hard-working, frugal laborer who works two jobs while remaining carefully loyal to his wife, Rochelle, a conscientious and powerful housewife and mother who is fiercely protective of the family, while also being fiercely demanding of all in it, especially eldest son Chris. The show is a family sitcom, patterned on Chris Rock's recollection of his teenage years growing up in the 1980s with a wholesome, tight-knit, African-American family, while living in drug-and-gang infested Bedford–Stuyvesant, a neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, and also attending a cross-town, white-dominated, public high school.
