Synopsis: Abby has a complicated life.

As the producer of a sports program, she's surrounded by guys and a lot of testosterone; she's broken up with her self-absorbed boyfriend, but remains roommates with him so that they can hold on to their only-on-TV fabulous rent-controlled apartment in San Francisco; and, her "feisty and flirtatious" sister wants to teach her how to use her feminine wiles to get ahead. Throw in a best friend harboring a secret crush, and you have yourself a sitcom. (Courtesy UPN, 2002)
