Norris & Jesse Jane

Best friends and roommates represent all the young twenty-somethings who face each of the world's daily challenges with a gut full of alternating bouts of hope, doubt and downright panic. And this is during their sleep.

Dennis & Chloe

Middle-class suburbanites Dennis and Chloe wear the mantle of all those trying to balance the stress of being working parents with the stress of keeping their romance as renewed as a newborn's diaper. As in all walks of life – nothing is without its little messes.

Mia Lee

Mia is the yin to Jesse Jane's yang. Not one to beat around the bush, she's direct, frank, and often gives us a subtle insight to the American condition. She's a conscience with both a halo and a pitchfork.

Jonas & Nelle

Long-time marrieds Jonas and Nelle search for independence amid their co-dependency. It's their distaste for each other that adds so much flavor to their relationship. Butting heads is as much a part of their daily routine as Medic Alert and Maalox.

Roscoe

Disco-stud whose dates always end at the doorstep. Because two people can't fit under a rock.

Dr. Scott

Local doctor. Believes in the benefits of Western medicine. Instruments include a lasso and a branding iron.

VJ
Bartender and local therapist. His drinks and advice are always served straight up.

Bette

It's amazing how much some people hate to work for a living.

Mr. Bork
Women find his funny style of dress irresistible. Seems all his clothes have such deep pockets.

Elsie

Community grandmother. Still proudly drives. Closely watches the speedometer – 'cause she can't see over it.

Officer Tim, Inspector Booker and Officer Jim

The local law enforcement team. Where there’s foul play, there are Officers Tim and Jim, with Inspector Booker arriving shortly.

Whether it’s investigating pillow fights at a bed-of-nails slumber party or discovering a 6-year-old taking an afternoon snooze and thereby solving a kidnapping case, they keep the order in disorder.

Mr. Carp

Attorney who believes in the American Way. Now if it can just be separated from that silly truth-and-justice part.

Father Rafferty
Local minister who marries 'em and buries 'em. Also acts a grief counselor for both.
