Now Bud Turpin was not exactly a God-fearing man–even his wife isn’t wasting a lot of tears grieving for the man she said should have “mean and surly” carved on his tombstone. The rest of his family, an earnest lot of hilariously dysfunctional characters, try to pull themselves out of their own problems long enough to get poor Bud into his “Gentleman Farmer” coffin and into the ground.
