"Mission Hill" (1999-2000)

Quirky animated cartoon that only lasted a season on the WB network. I didn't watch it when it aired there. I became familiar with it when it began airing as part of the Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" block of late night adult-orientated fare. Andy French (Wallace Langham) was a twenty-something guy with a modest apartment in a funky neighborhood of a big city. Andy's bachelor freedom is cut short when his parents sell their house and move, sending his nerdy teenaged brother Kevin (Scott Menville) to live with him. Andy chafs at having to parent his sibling, who constantly gets on him about his freewheeling lifestyle.

Andy and Kevin's friends and neighbors included laid back Jim (Brian Bosehn), who appeared to be the king bee in the advertising agency where he worked; neo-flower-child Posey (Vicki Lewis); Natalie (Lewis, again) and her husband Carlos (Herbert Siguenza); Gwen (Jane Wiedlin) a sometime girlfriend of Andy's and a middle aged gay couple, Gus (Nick Jameson) and Wally (Tom Kenny). The show was not laugh out loud funny, but the characters and situations were interesting. One good episode found Andy as a participant on a reality show that was clearly a parody of MTV's "The Real World".

Vicky Lewis appeared on the sitcom "Newsradio" (1995-1999). Tom Kenny is a popular voice talent who was also heard on "Dexter's Laboratory", "Johnny Bravo", and "The Powerpuff Girls".
