The story

The real-life Chris Rock provides intermittent narration throughout the show, at times interjecting his young self's thoughts or sometimes simply recounting the situation he is describing.

Chris's family is firmly dominated by his parents: Julius, a hard-working, frugal laborer who works two jobs, and his wife, Rochelle, a housewife (and later the manager of a beauty salon) and mother.

The school is slyly named "Corleone Junior High School" (an apparent reference to the fictional Corleone mafia family from the movie The Godfather or its real-life parallel, the Corleonesi).
