The McCarthys is a sitcom about a sports-crazed Irish-Catholic family who live together in Boston. One of the four adult children, Gerard, manages to miss his own engagement party which is being held on a Boston Harbor cruise ship. (Gerard gets on the wrong one.) The mishap forces his mother Marjorie (Laurie Metcalf) to bond with her soon-to-be daughter-in-law.
