George Harris (standup comedian George Wallace) is a subway cop for the Philadelphia Transit Authority and a member of the Subway Moles baseball team.
He is married to Lainie (Anna Maria Horsford), a court reporter, and is the father of Chester, Ernest (Kenny Blank) – a budding film director who talks to his camcorder about his dreams and ambitions – and 6-year-old DeeDee (Karla Green).
The series title refers to 16-year-old Chester (Terrence Howard), a promising basketball star who is called “Chet the Jet” as a member of the school’s basketball team.
George has a dream of raising Chester to become the world’s greatest basketball player but Lainie feels differently and wants Chester to attend Temple University and get an education to make his way in the world. When George gets upset and can’t sleep he makes a meatloaf and peanut butter sandwich.
This is the conflict the series presented but nobody apparently cared and Chet’s fate was left unresolved as the CBS Summer series was cancelled after just four episodes.
