Central characters include the whimsical uncle by marriage and his interactions with Myra and the baby, providing a lighthearted exploration of familial roles and relationships. The opening of "Once a Week" introduces a lively scene involving an uncle's playful banter with Myra, who is the aunt to a newborn baby. As they discuss the implications of the uncle's new role as a godfather, humor unfolds through their witty exchanges and playful jabs. The atmosphere is both affectionate and comedic, setting the tone for a series of sketches that promise to explore the intricacies of relationships and the trivialities of everyday life.
