Plot summary
The road-trip comedy Gary and Mike centers on two best friends whose cross-country journey achieves nothing significant but wreaks havoc on people’s lives and property. Gary is a tense, well-meaning loser, while Mike is an easygoing, sexually compulsive friend who brings chaos. Along the way, they cross paths with prostitutes, mole people, and a murderous schemer, while an angry father hunts Mike for sleeping with his daughter. Though the final episode ended with a “to be continued” note, UPN canceled the series after one season due to the network’s financial troubles, not low ratings.
