this dvd set is superb. This series follows the life of CIA agent Stan Smith and his family. There's Francine, the loving housewife who has plenty of adventures of her own. Hailey, Stan's liberal daughter whose views constantly conflict with those of her ultra-conservative father. Steve, the nerdy son who is just trying to get by in life. Roger, an alien from Area 51, who has been forbidden to leave the house, has made himself obsessed with television. and Klaus, a German Olympic skier whose brain has been trapped inside the body of a goldfish. The episodes are: The pilot episode - Steve tries to become the student body president, and Roger is forced to go on a diet. 'Threat Levels' - Francine gets a job in estate agency. Hailey tries to help the homeless, only to have Stan and Steve take the homeless people, for their own moneymaking scam. 'Stan Knows Best' - Hailey gets a job at a strip club, and Steve tries to get a date, by taking advantage of Roger. -'Roger Codger' - Stan's boss comes over for dinner, and fears that he may discover that Roger is being kept in the house.

'Homeland Insecurity' - When neighbours of Middle-Eastern descent move in by the Smiths, Stan thinks they are terrorists due to their ethnicity.
