Journalist Maya Gallo (Laura San Giacomo) is fired from her job as a TV news writer at New York’s Channel 8 – for making an anchorwoman cry on the air with some gag copy on the teleprompter – and ends up working as an articles editor for her womanising father, Jack (George Segal), who owns a sleazy women’s fashion magazine called Blush that he began back in 1967.
Jack had been divorced multiple times and had remarried Allie (Kristen Bauer van Straten), a woman almost 30 years his junior who had, in fact, been a classmate of Maya. Jack was a big kid at heart, loved electronic gadgets and had a racehorse named Tax Dodge.
Former model Nina van Horn (Wendie Malick) was the bossy and scheming fashion editor of Blush. Her real name was Claire Noodleman.
Elliot DiMauro (Enrico Colantoni) was the balding (and somewhat hysterical) head photographer. He and Nina were constantly at odds and had only one thing in common – an old blues singer named Cholera Joe Hopper (who had such “hits” as A Pebble in My One Good Shoe, Chin Hair Mama and Swollen Glands).
Dennis Finch (played by former Saturday Night Liveperformer David Spade) was Jack Gallo’s sneaky, scheming young yuppie Executive Assistant who saw his job as an opportunity to meet beautiful models. He eventually married fashion model Adrienne Barker (Rebecca Romijn) in the third season, but they divorced a year later.
His character became the most popular on the show, with his two-faced, self-serving actions.
In the final episode, Maya became the editor of Blush when Jack retired.
