Synopsis
Raising the Roofs is an unscripted comedy series that stars working actor Michael Roof, Jr., and his prank-pulling, beer-swilling, over-the-top, back-country family.
Michael Jr. was born and raised in a small town of Dunnellon, Florida, with a population of 2,000, where his extended family still resides.
In search of fame and fortune, he moved to Hollywood and has landed a number of supporting roles in films such as The Dukes of Hazzard and Black Hawk Down.
Raising the Roofs explores what happens when his family - his father, Michael Sr. and Uncle Stevie - pack their bags and their pet pig, and take on the bright lights and big city of Los Angeles for an open-ended visit.
