Three generations of Liptons faced the trials of urban life from different perspectives: teenage post-secondary school dropout Zoe (Ingrid Veninger), widowed single mother and radio talk-show host Jean (Roberta Maxwell), and eccentric 63-year-old university student Grandpa Bobby (Roland Hewgill).
Mark (Kimble Hall) was Jean’s radio station boss at CJEX 790, Alex (Alec Willows) employed Zoe at the trendy Alibi club, and Ariel (Taborah Johnson) was Zoe’s co-worker and best friend.
The second season of this CBC comedy added Zoe’s cousin, Matt (Christopher Bolton) – who came to stay with the Liptons while his parents were working in Saudi Arabia – and interviewer Dale Campbell (Patrick Rose).
The series featured scripts from some of Canada’s finest literary and screen talents, including celebrated playwright Judith Thompson and future Due South star Paul Gross.
