Description: Joe Girelli, the Italian-American superintendent of an apartment building in New York City, is a big man who prefers to be left alone so that he can drink beer while watching television. His family, wife Francesca, daughter Joanne, son Anthony, and brother Frankie, a big-shot lawyer, continually bothers him, the building's tenants are constantly banging on the pipes and complaining about him and one another, and city officials always are trying to condemn his building.
