Star of the Family

Star of the Family

"Star of the Family" was a short-lived television situation comedy starring veteran actor Brian Dennehy as fire chief Leslie "Buddy" Krebs and Kathy Maisnik as his singer daughter Jennie Lee Krebs. The series debuted in 1982 on ABC after Joanie Loves Chachi and was canceled after only a half a season.

Plot

Fire Captain Buddy Krebs' (Dennehy) 16-year-old daughter Jennie Lee (Maisnik) begins getting show-business offers because of her singing talents in the country/pop genre. This scares Buddy because he does not want his daughter to grow up too fast. Adding to his troubles, are (1) his wife runs off with a bellhop, (2) his 17-year-old son (Michael Dudikoff) has muscle instead of brains in his head, (3) his crew down at the firehouse are "strange": Leo Feldman (Todd Susman) tells his mother he is a doctor instead of a fireman, Frank Rosetti (George DelHoyo) has only sex on the brain and Max Hernandez (Danny Mora), a Hispanic, speaks fractured English. Finally, his daughter signs with a manager named Judy "Moose" Wells (Judy Pioli); the name fits the description of the woman. Another character on the series was named Tiffany (played by Amanda Wyss).
