Overview
After realizing that no one keeps their New Year's resolutions, Frankie decides that they will be assigned anonymously to each family member, and an all-you-can-eat buffet feast will be the reward for those who can abide by their chosen resolution for a week. But chaos soon ensues when Frankie must spend more time with Brick, Mike needs to smile more, Axl has to keep his bedroom clean, Sue needs to stop trying out for things she'll never make, and Brick must stop reading all of the time.

00:00:07 FRANKIE: The new year, celebrating a fresh start for people all over the world.
00:00:57 Wow. Are we really so lazy...
00:01:49 I get it. This is just a scam to get us to do things you're too lazy to do.
00:02:43 This is just dumb. Who wrote this? Who thinks I need to smile more?
00:03:38 My own son couldn't even tell me he needed me.
00:04:38 and sometimes even revelations.
00:05:26 I haven't read in 10 hours.
00:06:15 Wait a minute. Maybe what they're saying...
00:07:09 - Okay. - Really?
00:08:01 I tried it. It was weird.
00:09:01 "Fire trucks and why they're awesome."
00:09:52 doesn't mean you're getting special treatment.
00:10:48 You know what would be really fun? Coming to work with me.
00:11:42 - So we're gonna practice now? - Yes. We have a meet on Friday.
00:12:41 - What are you doing? - Well, this might sound a little crazy...
00:13:35 Ha, ha. I can almost guarantee it.
00:14:32 The chair took up two hours, and things just got better from there.
00:15:38 What do you say?
00:16:29 Bam! Check it out. Got an A in 5th-grade English. Ooh!
00:17:20 FRANKIE: Okay, so Mike was still a work in progress.
00:18:16 Oh, crap.
00:19:16 Of course I'm back. You didn't think I wouldn't come back for you, did you?
00:20:11 That's the sign of a good restaurant, when they do a lot of things well.
00:21:18 That's our car.
