Synopsis

The show lampooned an upper class Los Angeles lifestyle by presenting Manhattan writer Arthur Garment as a fish out of water among Hollywood notables and the idle rich. In the pilot, Garment arrives with unconcealed hostility, intending to write a bitter satire on LA's absurdities and excesses. While staying with an old college friend, he finds himself torn between stern contempt for West Coast attitudes and a growing enchantment with the relaxed whimsy around him. The series was heavily marketed as ABC's answer to Seinfeld, with longtime Seinfeld writers Peter Mehlman and Carol Leifer driving the scripts, but it failed to capture the same audience.
