Storyline
In the year 2011, Charles Russell dies in a hovercraft accident and finds himself in the high spiritual palace of Saint Peter. Since Charles is too good for hell and too bad for heaven, he is given the chance to return to the present to assist his younger self, Chazz, in making better decisions at critical junctures in his life in order to redeem himself. In turn, Saint Peter, who grades Charles' progress in his attempt to grow into a new man the second time around, watches over him like a hawk. Written by George Krieger <gkrieg1@tigger.cc.uic.edu>

The first version of this show wasn't very funny. It had also been done a thousand times before--a dead man gets a second chance at redemption. When it became Boys Will Be Boys, it was somewhat better. I think Matthew Perry was a lot funnier on this show than he is on Friends. Booch was a Fonzie ripoff. Not great TV, but an okay time waster for what it was.
