Catherine & Cousin Eddie are husband and wife. He’s a bit scatterbrained and you can say she’s been long-suffering. At Christmas time, they were living in an RV since Cousin Eddie lost his job. A series of shenanigans ensue and it’s a good thing Catherine’s super patient.
Catherine & Cousin Eddie are night and day when it comes to what they wear. Cousin Eddie is most known for his white robe, black socks, and Eskimo hat while Catherine is better known for her striped winter scarf, brown khaki coat, and green beanie.
