The central plot revolves around the Hatcher family—consisting of the parents, Anne and Warren, and their three children: Peter, Fudge, and Tootsie. Each episode holds a delightful mix of family dynamics, sibling rivalries, and childhood experiences told through the eyes of the middle child, Peter. The storyline primarily focuses on the relationship between the two Hatcher boys, Peter and his little brother Fudge. Peter is a typical pre-teen boy, often bothered and sometimes entertained by the antics of his mischievous five-year-old brother, Farley Drexel 'Fudge' Hatcher. Fudge, the titular character, manages to tumble his way into a multitude of improbable yet hilarious scenarios that form the heart of Fudge’s humor and charm. Owing to Fudge's endearing naivety and unrestrained imagination, things often turn out to be much more complicated and chaotic than expected—providing viewers with numerous gut-busting laughter moments. Apart from the Hatcher family, there is a host of other characters, each more charming than the last. From Peter's best friend, Jimmy Fargo, to their pet turtle, Dribble—each character has their unique quirks that set them apart and makes the world of Fudge a fascinating place to be in. Fudge brings to life a classic and relatable sibling rivalry story but manages to give it a refreshing twist with its well-written script, lovable characters, and the exceptional portrayal of family dynamics.
