The four friends were Zack (Adam Brody, later of The O.C.), trying to win over his unrequited crush Lisa. Ted, the stereotypical rich kid who tries to consummate with his girlfriend, Nancy. J.C., who finds himself constantly approached by middle-aged women, and Gilby (Johnny Lewis), the class clown, who regularly creates trouble.
Produced in 2000 and 2001, it ran for one season. The single-camera series was shot without an audience and included no laugh track.
Originally aired in Canada on The Comedy Network, reruns were later screened on CTV and YTV. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, it airs on Trouble. Sky One previously aired it.
The series won a 2002 Leo Award for Best Director of a music, comedy or variety program or series (John Pozer, episode "Zack's Little Problem") and a nomination for Best Production Design (Grant Pease, episode "Gilby's Millions").
