Episode guide
Season One
- 1.1 Phil's Hell Day / Bam's Skate Park
Bam wants to get Phil angry...but can he piss off his mild-mannered dad? He certainly tries to by installing a fire pole in the living room, ironing hamburgers on ALL Phil's clothes, replacing the toothpaste with ground meat and lastly, by demolishing Phil's beloved van. Next, Bam gets his parents out of the house by sending them to Atlantic City. As soon as Phil & April hit the road, Bam and crew get to work converting the family home into an indoor/outdoor skate park.
- 1.2 Don't Feed Phil
Can Phil go without food for an entire day? That's what Bam wants to find out. Like it or not, Phil's going on a starvation diet. For 24 hours, Bam has instilled his family, friends, and heck, the whole town with one simple message "Don't Feed Phil." And to celebrate his father's fast, Bam hosts a Turbonegro concert in his living room.
- 1.3 Family Reunion
Bam wants to do something special for the family reunion...something medieval. Bam & his crew build a drawbridge and a moat to replace the front door and erect a walled area in the form of a castle in the front yard. Dressed in medieval armour, Bam & Co., including Compton Ass Terry riding atop an elephant, host this merry feast. Soon after, Bam's grandmother, Mum Mum, leaves the party claiming "this whole party is crazy!"
- 1.4 Viva Las Vegas
It's two days before Phil and April's wedding anniversary. Bam wants to do something special for them, so he decides to take them and the rest of the crew to Las Vegas.

April & Phil go on a three-day-weekend leaving Bam at home. While they're away, Bam and his crew play. They paint the entire kitchen blue along with everything in it.

Once arriving, April becomes suspicious and decides to turn the tables on her son.
