This NBC comedy starred native New Yorker Stewart Lewis (Gabe Kaplan) who had a strange ambition – to own a country music club.
Tired of working for his wife’s father and commuting from his job in Manhattan to his home in Plainview, Long Island, Stewart purchases – sight unseen – the Nassau County Café, a Texas saloon, from an ad he sees on a train.
With the hope of simplifying life for everyone concerned, Stewart uproots his family – wife Alicia (Ilene Graff) and kids Kelly (Amy Linker) and Keith (David Hollander) -and moves to Luckenbach, Texas.
It turns out the Nassau County Cafe already had nine owners in the last six years and sported a sign that read “Always Under New Management”.
While his sidekick Roscoe Clark (Guich Koock) stood by, Stewart let fly with one-liners and tortured puns. Thank goodness Stewart didn’t want to be a comedian . . .
Other regular characters included Wendy the waitress (Wendy Holcombe); John the bartender (Michael McManus); Silas the beer distributor (Clifton James); a bar regular named Lester (Aaron Fletcher) and Kelly’s friends, Josie (Dana Laurita).
