Synopsis: ROCK ME BABY is a fun, irreverent look at relationships
and parenthood as seen through the eyes of Jimmy (Dan Cortese, "Veronica's
Closet"), a hip, flagrant shock jock. Jimmy lives for the adrenaline
rush he gets from his outrageous behavior, but discovers his life is
turned upside down when he and his mostly understanding wife welcome
a new baby.
Jimmy, the proudly provocative morning radio show DJ, had been on a
roll, pushing the outside of the envelope of irreverence. Barely slowed
down by his marriage to the cute and funny Beth (Bianca Kajlich, "Halloween:
Resurrection"), he is thrown abruptly into reverse when his bouncing
baby boy Otis arrives. The on-air party animal has a dilemma: if he
makes fun of his home life, he gets in trouble with Beth. If he talks
about how warm and fuzzy he feels being a new dad, he gets in trouble
with Carl (Carl Anthony Payne, "Martin"), his partner, and
Boyle (Joey Slotnick, "Alias"), his boss, both of whom are
worried about ratings.
As Jimmy settles in, perhaps a little uneasily, to his new responsibilities
as a parent, expect him to confidently uphold his wild-man status with
plenty of energy left over for his goofy but genuine love for Beth,
baby Otis and their eccentric friends.
