Meanwhile, the previously unknown grandfather’s second son, Tolya, comes to the Dyatlovs, who turns out to be a good-natured businessman who is fond of sports. The new member is to the liking of all the Dyatlovs (and even Veronika Karlovna) and by her success overshadows the true, albeit weak head of the family - Nikolai.

But money is still not accumulating enough, so Klava decides to sell Telika. Fortunately, Nikolai once again gets a job, this time - in a dating agency. Tamara, knowing the existence of such an agency, assures Klava that Kolya will find a foreign husband. Through this agency, his grandfather is trying to drive Veronika Karlovna to, but she expels him. Meanwhile, Nikolai is selling an old piggy bank for 15 rubles, and soon oil workers come here to extract oil at the place of the house with the Dyatlovs, which, of course, will be demolished. Nikolai is bursting with patience and he decides to go abroad with his family, and his grandfather offers a way how to do this: through the sewer. Through the sewer, the Dyatlovs enter Egypt , where terrorists are operating. Meanwhile, the American businessman George Vilyamovich, who started oil production from the Dyatlovs (and who just looked at Veronika and whose apartment they will not demolish), sees from Telik that his towers in Egypt were washed away by a wave of mud. In Egypt, the Dyatlovs begin to miss their homeland and decide to go home. Upon learning that his father helped repair the bomb to terrorists, and tickets to Moscow are expensive, his grandfather offers him to hijack a plane. But they themselves are captured by terrorists, and a pilot is evacuated from the captured plane, as a result of which the plane to Moscow is decided by Nikolai himself. The plane with the Dyatlovs and the terrorists captured Petya successfully flies to Sheremetyevo , and the Dyatlovs themselves are trying to catch George Vilyamovich, who was looking for oil in a crocodile costume, but found a diamond, but it is washed off literally. | |||

Video Edition
The first four episodes of the animated series were published on DVD on October 26, 2003 by Soyuz Video .
Criticism
The series received mixed ratings. On Kinopoisk, the series has a rating of 3.9 stars out of ten. The main disadvantage was called parasitism on the " Simpsons " and " Family Guy ", which can be seen in the title. However, series about a family with a name by family name have been around for a long time. In addition, the storytelling in the first season is also different from The Simpsons and Family Guy. They criticized the series because of poorly disclosed characters and sucking jokes to the last. However, in the second season, the plot has changed significantly, but despite this, the series turned out to be too messy and was soon closed.
Also, the animated series is criticized for the terrible computer graphics, in particular, for the heads that are not connected to the necks and the constant use of the same characters in different situations. [2] However, the creators joked about this topic in the series "Type about the New Year":
Nikita (to Allochka, about the Glucose clip): This is all drawn on the computer. Where have you seen such people? What kind of head is this? What about your hands? Feet must be torn off to those who draw such hands!
Klava (chuckling amiably): Look at yourself!
Nikita (looks at her hands, hands not connected to the forearms): Yes, fine ...
