Grounded for Life (Seasons 1–5)

Grounded for Life (2001) is a family sitcom you can watch online on iFILM. Sean Finnerty married his girlfriend straight out of high school after she got pregnant, and by thirty-two he's already a father of three and a grown-up against his will.

The Finnertys are a loud, crowded Irish Catholic clan. Sean (Donal Logue) is forever caught between doing the responsible thing and his itch to do the opposite; his wife Claudia (Megyn Price) keeps the whole house standing; teenage daughter Lily tests every rule there is, and grumpy granddad Walt plus deadbeat brother Eddie only make things worse. The show's gimmick is in the telling — episodes often run backwards, opening on the disaster and circling back to the cause, and nobody ever lets Sean finish a story. It's easy, warm comedy for anyone who likes sitcoms about a big, flawed family that argues at full volume and still has each other's backs. Stream every episode of Grounded for Life online on iFILM.
