  • Roy Nutz: The patriarch of the Nutz family, a typical blue-collar working man. The short-tempered head of the Catholic household enjoys watching TV and drinking beer.
  • Pat Nutz: Roy's wife.
  • Roy Nutz, Jr., aka Royboy: The oldest of the three Nutz children. Huskily built, he is rather slow witted, overeats, and enjoys sports.
  • Babs Nutz: The middle of the three Nutz children is the only girl, and the smartest. She is able to manipulate both Royboy and Andrew to her advantage.
  • Andrew Nutz: The youngest of the three Nutz children. Andrew enjoys playing with dolls, and is bossed around on a regular basis by both of his older siblings.
