Jerry Falk and David Dobel, who meet at a business meeting, become fast friends. Their commonality is that they are both fledgling New York based come...dy writers, largely writing material for stand-ups, are Jewish (although David is an atheist), and are each of bundle of different neuroses. Their big difference is that Jerry is twenty-one, while David is sixty, with forty more years worth of life experience, knowledge and neuroses. While Jerry writes full time - he also working on a novel - David has kept his day job as a public school teacher just in case. In their relationship, David becomes somewhat of Jerry's mentor, providing advice on Jerry's life issues, most which revolve around the fact that Jerry is a product of inertia, he having trouble leaving anyone. That's why Jerry's still with the one and only manager he's ever had, Harvey Wexler. Jerry not only being Harvey's only client (which is a testament to his effectiveness in the job), Harvey also has a 25% take as stipulated in their contract, which he wants to extend for another seven years. That's why Jerry is still in therapy with a psychiatrist who has done him no good, and who advised Jerry to stay in therapy with him as opposed to taking a job in Los Angeles. But that not being able to leave largely applies to his love life. Jerry already has one divorce, his wife who left him. He is having problems with his current girlfriend Amanda, who he believes is the love of his life. He fell in love with her at first sight, when he was already in a cohabitational relationship with Brooke, and Amanda dating Jerry's friend, Bob Stiles. Even after Jerry began sleeping with Amanda, he could not be up front with Brooke about the situation, he leaving her to figure out his lies. What Jerry is unable or unwilling to see is that Amanda not only manipulates him, but that he focuses on the things between them that make them truly compatible, while disregarding those many more things which make them totally incompatible. What has made their relationship more difficult of late is that her mother, who is trying to find herself, has moved in with them in their small apartment. Despite David's unique view of life, he may be able to see Jerry and Amanda's relationship more clearly as an objective bystander. The question becomes how much of David's advice Jerry will take in its entirety. Show More

tor, providing advice on Jerry's life issues, most which revolve around the fact that Jerry is a pushover, who tends to say yes to everyone he meets to his own detriment, such as when he lets others take advantage of his generosity. Jerry also becomes romantic involved with Amanda, a woman he meets at a comedy club, who too has her own neuroses that she brings to the relationship. In the meantime, David's marriage ends when his wife Cookie leaves him, she for another woman. David's nineteen-year-old daughter Samantha, who is Jerry's age, is a not so much secret weapon as a late bloomer sexually. Jerry's relationship with Amanda forces him to question whether anything he does in life if leading anywhere. This situation is somewhat answered when Jerry meets aspiring actress Brooke, who is having her own tumultuous relationship withocker boyfriend, Johnny. In those meetings, Jerry and Brooke fall in line with experiencing their first love. In the end, Jerry, David, Amanda and Brooke meet each other during a New Year's Eve party.
