Caroline in
the City revolves around an artist whose chaotic personal life
provides a wealth of material. Caroline (Lea Thompson) is already a
success. She draws the highly popular "witty and carefree" comic
strip about a hapless single woman who is not Cathy. In the
beginning, Caroline finds herself increasingly torn between two men.
The first is Del (Eric Lutes), her on-again-off-again boyfriend for
whom she creates Caroline merchandise for his dad's greeting card
company. The second is Richard (Malcolm Gets), Caroline's new
assistant and a struggling artist with a sardonic wit that's a tonic
to the show. Adding spunk to the series is Annie (Amy Pietz),
Caroline's neighbor and best friend and a Broadway dancer (she's in
Cats). Annie and Richard make fine and funny natural-born enemies.
Caroline in the City consistently delivers laughs. |
