    #1 - Move It or Lose It

    S1:E1

    The Lubbock clan make it to Eureka, California, where Graham's accepting a coaching job at St Auggie's Academy — but the family's in for some surprises. First, the Coach learns that the university is an all-boys school which his daughters will be attending. Then they arrive at their new run-down home, and find it "looks like something out of Nightmare on Elm Street." But the biggest surprise is that Graham only got the job because his former student, Duane Johnson, works on the faculty, and has been corresponding with Elizabeth.
