"Why is it that when people think of Los Angeles, they picture a place populated with vapid, neurotic, self-absorbed, flaky, narcissistic airheads? Because it's like, you know... true! Welcome to L.A., home to this eclectic clique of transplants and natives, all but one of whom think the City of Angels is sheer heaven. This is a revealing look at the City of Dreamers through the eyes of a diehard New Yorker. All of Tinsel town's pretenses-its Hollywood aura, its valley girls and its strange allure-are filtered through the mind of someone from a culture as foreign to the City of Glitter as a subway is to the Pacific Coast Highway. "Big Apple journalist and determined L.A.-phobe Arthur is visiting the west coast to write a book about the City of Angels. He's never been to L.A. before, but Arthur already knows what he hates. He plans to stay for only two months until the book is done. But will he be able to so easily pack up and leave, or will the magic of La La Land seduce him to stay? (official distributor synopsis)

Characteristic of this sitcom is that despite being aired at a favorable time slot here in Europe, with the passage of time, only 21 viewers have rated it on FilmBooster. It wasn't a hit even in the American market. The main attraction was supposed to be Jennifer Grey, for whom the series was meant to be a comeback to the limelight of audience favor after failing to capitalize on her popularity from the hit Dirty Dancing and slowly fading into obscurity. However, Jennifer is just too average an actress to carry the entire sitcom on her own, and the competition on the market is enormous. At that time, similar themed shows like Friends dominated television, and alongside that, this group simply couldn't make it. Overall impression: 50%.
