MTV‘s “slacker-com” was about three twentysomething friends goofing off, and getting by (more or less), in easygoing Austin, Texas.
Laura (Laura House) was the relatively responsible one, with a real job at the free alternative newspaper, The Austin Weekly.
Howard (Howard Kremer) was her goofy – and goofy-looking – friend, who lived out of his car (when he had one) and spent his days doing little scams like stuffing his pockets with free maps at the local tourist office, then selling them on the steps of the Capitol, or trying to slip into a theater for free.
He always got caught, of course, but he was so amiable that no one could really get mad at him.
Chip (Brad ‘Chip’ Pope) was the somewhat dense hanger-on, who kept getting fired from menial jobs, and whose ill-conceived schemes blew up even faster than Howard’s.
The three leads were all stand-up comedians from Austin, Texas.
