The Real O'Neals is a comedy television series that premiered on ABC on March 2, 2016. The show follows the O'Neal family, a Catholic family living in Chicago, as they navigate their way through various family issues. The show stars Martha Plimpton, Jay R. Ferguson, Noah Galvin, Matt Shively, Bebe Wood, and Mary Hollis Inboden.

Season 1 episode 8 of The Real O'Neals is titled "The Real Book Club." In this episode, Eileen (Martha Plimpton) starts a book club with some of the other moms from school. When Kenny (Noah Galvin) accidentally walks in on their meeting he feels left out and decides to start his own book club with Jimmy (Matt Shively) and Shannon (Bebe Wood). Meanwhile, Pat (Jay R. Ferguson) agrees to watch over a group of birds for Jimmy's science class and becomes attached to them.

As the episode begins, Eileen is excited to be starting a book club with some of the other moms from school. They are reading a novel called "The 30 Day Husband," which Eileen seems especially excited about. Kenny doesn't understand why anyone would want to read a book about marriage since he doesn't believe in it. When he accidentally walks in on the book club meeting he feels left out and decides to start his own book club with Shannon and Jimmy.

Kenny's book club starts off on a rocky note when they can't agree on what book to read. Shannon suggests they read the Twilight books, but Kenny and Jimmy are not interested. They eventually settle on a graphic novel called "Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers."

Meanwhile, Pat has agreed to watch over a group of birds for Jimmy's science class. He takes the birds under his wing (pun intended) and becomes quite attached to them. He even starts singing to them and calling them his "little angels." When the other O'Neals find out about Pat's attachment to the birds they are amused, but also concerned.

As the episode progresses, both book clubs run into some problems. Eileen's book club is not as fun as she was hoping it would be, and she starts to feel like the other moms are judging her. Kenny's book club, on the other hand, is having a great time reading their graphic novel until they discover that it is actually a comic book for children.

In the end, both Eileen and Kenny learn some valuable lessons. Eileen realizes that she doesn't need to impress the other moms and that it's okay to be herself. Kenny learns that just because a book is aimed at children doesn't mean it's not worth reading. And Pat learns that sometimes it's better to let go of things you love, even if it's difficult.

Overall, "The Real Book Club" is a funny and heartwarming episode of The Real O'Neals that highlights the importance of being true to yourself and accepting others for who they are.
