				Plot Summary: 
						A city couple, Andy and Elizabeth Farmer, decide to 
						escape the hustle and bustle of city life for the 
						seemingly idyllic tranquility of a Vermont farmhouse. 
						Their dreams of a peaceful rural existence quickly 
						devolve into a series of comedic misfortunes and 
						escalating encounters with the eccentric locals of their 
						new small town of Redbud. Dad's Preview: 
				Chevy Chase and Madolyn Osborne are a married couple who decide 
				to leave city life and move to an idyllic country home. Of 
				course, it's a nightmare, thanks to a whole 
				plethora of wacky neighbors who are dead-set against the couple 
				enjoying their new home. There's the hard-drinking hillbilly 
				mail carrier, the pesky road-sign-altering teenagers, and overly nosey 
				townsfolk. It's fun to see how the crafty couple uses a little 
				reverse psychology to win over the town's inhabitants.
