Storyline
Plot Summary |
William Powers is a clueless senator whose career is actually run by his manipulative wife Margaret, his smart chief of staff (and mistress) Jordan, and his political aide Bradley. At home, the senator must also contend with his fussy daughter Caitlyn and her suicidal husband Theodore, who happens to be in love with the Powers' bumbling maid Charlotte. The arrival of the senator's illegitimate daughter, Sophie Lipkin, in the middle of a tough re-election campaign causes consternation for everyone, but Sophie ends up bonding with her father and quickly becomes an important part of his life and his workplace.

Did You Know?
Trivia | Casting director Sheila Guthrie recommended that the creators of Frasier (1993) should invent a part for David Hyde Pierce in part because of his physical resemblance to Kelsey Grammer. She left them with tapes of this series, and they were so dazzled by his performance that they devised the role of Niles Crane explicitly for him. See more » |
