Run the Burbs

"Phamily Doctor"

Synopsis:

Run the Burbs follows the Phams, a young, bold Vietnamese-South Asian-Canadian family taking a different approach to living life to the fullest, while changing the way we think about contemporary family values and life in the burbs.

Episode Synopsis:
A trip to the local Asian Buffet leaves Andrew painfully gout-stricken, prompting the Phams to realize that their family doctor retired six months ago! Busier than ever with work and the kids, Andrew and Camille struggle to carve out space to care for their families and themselves, and with precious little time to find a new doctor. Andrew and Camille set off on a journey to find a new doctor, but soon realize just how tall of an order that is. Khia faces her own challenges at Bubble Bae when she meets a cool new face, who turns out to be Mannix’s new girlfriend. Cathy shares some relationship advice with Khia on how to proceed, but ends up learning a lesson from Khia instead.
