You Can Count On Me

Teen comedy about a girl with two dads.

The basic plot of the show was Nichole's(Keanan) mother died and she was adopted by the two men who had been with her mother.

Micheal (Reiser) was the successful, easily stressed business man. Joey (Evigan) was the laid back rock musician. Also the judge lived with them to oversee the upbringing. Typical episodes include Nichole's first date, Nichole's dating a rebel, etc. The series gave me the first appearance of Reiser's range of comedy material, also Keanan was the girl that I wish that went to my junior high.:)
