ynopsis

The series centered around the six survivors of a world nuclear holocaust. The six of them live together in an abandoned farm house while trying to survive and re-establish civilization. One critic referred to Woops! as a "post apocalypse "Gilligan's Island". Thirteen episodes were made, but only ten were aired before FOX canceled the series.

Characters and Cast

* Mark Braddock (Evan Handler), formerly a schoolteacher, and the narrator of the show by writing in his journal. The pilot episode focuses on Mark, showing him finishing his classes and making a deposit at a drive up window at the bank when a flash of light (the nuclear attack) occurs, and everything is turned to ruins except for Mark and his automobile, which was a Volvo. (Somehow built so well that it was able to shield him).
* Jack Connors (Fred Applegate), formerly a homeless man and a great practical joker. Jack revealed he survived the nuclear war because he was sleeping under an expressway overpass, whose structure protected him. Jack considered his finding the farm advantageous, as he is no longer homeless.
* Alice McConnell (Meagen Fay). Her character was a progressive feminist stereotype. She reveals she worked in an old bookstore which had been built in the 1950s and equipped with a fallout shelter which was converted into the basement. She ran out of register tape and went to the basement to get a fresh roll, thus sparing her when the attack occurred.
* Frederick Ross (Cleavant Derricks), formerly a research biologist. His excellent knowledge of science is vital to the survival of the community.
* Suzanne Skillman (Marita Geraghty), formerly worked at a salon, a dumb blonde stereotype, although it was clear her hair color was brunette. The character Alice had lighter hair than Suzanne, and was much more intelligent.
* Curtis Thorpe (Lane Davies), formerly an aggressive venture capitalist.
