Following the conclusion of ''[[Back to the Future Part III]]'', in 1991, [[Dr. Emmett Brown]] moved into a farm in [[Hill Valley (Back to the Future)|Hill Valley]] with his wife [[Clara Clayton|Clara]], their sons [[List of Back to the Future characters#Jules Brown|Jules]] and [[List of Back to the Future characters#Verne Brown|Verne]], and the family dog, [[Einstein (dog)|Einstein]]. As with the films, [[time travel]] was achieved through the use of a modified [[DMC DeLorean|DeLorean]], which had apparently been rebuilt after it was destroyed at the end of the trilogy.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Erickson |first1=Hal |title=Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1949 Through 2003 |date=2005 |edition=2nd |publisher=McFarland & Co |isbn=978-1476665993 |pages=106–107}}</ref> The [[DeLorean time machine|DeLorean]] now has voice-activated "time circuits" and can also travel instantaneously to different locations in space and time, in addition to folding into a suitcase. The characters also travel through time using the [[steam locomotive|steam engine]] time machine Doc invented at the end of the [[Back to the Future Part III|third film]].
Although [[Marty McFly]] is a main character and [[Jennifer Parker]] makes occasional appearances, the show focused primarily on the Brown family, whereas the films focused on the McFly family. The film's villain, [[Biff Tannen]], also appeared frequently. In addition, relatives of the McFly, Brown, and Tannen families were plentiful in the past or future parallel time zones visited. Unlike the films, which took place entirely in Hill Valley and the surrounding area, the series frequently took the characters to exotic locations. At the end of every episode, Doc Brown would appear to do an experiment, often related to the episode's plot. The first season also included post-credits segments with Biff Tannen telling a joke related to the episode, alluding to [[Thomas F. Wilson]]'s career as a [[stand-up comedian]].

* [[Emmett Brown|Emmett "Doc" Brown]] (portrayed by [[Christopher Lloyd]] in live-action segments, voiced by [[Dan Castellaneta]] in the animated segments) – Marty's middle-aged best friend and the inventor of the [[DeLorean time machine]], which he built out of a DeLorean sports car in 1985; he subsequently built a [[locomotive]] time machine from 1885 to 1895. In the first episode of the series, the DeLorean is apparently being rebuilt with added features, nodding to the events of ''[[Back to the Future Part III]]''. He lives with Clara and two sons Jules and Verne.
* [[Einstein (Back to the Future)|Einstein]] (vocal effects provided by Danny Mann in season 1, [[Hal Rayle]] in season 2) – The faithful [[sheep dog]] living with Doc, Clara, Jules, and Verne. He is also Marty's friend.
* [[Clara Clayton|Clara Clayton Brown]] (voiced by [[Mary Steenburgen]]) – Doc's wife, who, along with the rest of the family, moved to the 20th century. She and the Browns lived in a farmhouse outside Hill Valley in 1991. Clara's embracive nature has meant she's settled well into 20th-century life and became a teacher at Hill Valley Elementary. She occasionally joins her husband, sons, and Marty on their time travel [[road trip]]s.
