What the Show Was About
The story of Uncle Dad followed a group of brothers and sisters. They had to move in with their uncle, Uncle Roy. Their new home was quite unusual! It was filled with all sorts of animals and even some creepy crawlies.
The kids had to stick together. They often found themselves dealing with their uncle, who sometimes seemed a bit clueless. He even wanted to get rid of them!
