The show is centered around the Walker family, an American family of Irish and Jewish heritages. Some of the family members are involved in the family-owned business running Ojai Food Co., a produce distributor. Most of the action is set in the Greater Los Angeles area. The family home is located in San Marino, California and the family has a vacation ranch in Ojai, California. The main branches of the Walker family tree included father William (who is deceased) (guest star Tom Skerritt), mother Nora (Sally Field), and their five children. Nora's brother, Saul Holden (Ron Rifkin) helps run the Walker family business.
