[edit] Plot Synopsis
David owned a restaurant in Miami, while his girlfriend Susan worked for a cruise line, and his brother Thumper was a sportscaster. The series was a 1990s take on Love, American Style in its couple-of-the-week format. Each episode presented the regular characters (who broke the fourth wall as a rule) telling a story of a couple. Stories were contained within a half hour. Sometimes the couples stayed together, and other times they broke up. The series aired for six episodes before being canceled.
