 Ted Hiller is a sensible, normal, family man while his best friend, Neil Diller is the absolute opposite, slick, unstable, and sarcastic. As the theme song goes, together they write a TV show, a popular sitcom. Most of the time they just goof off, hoping to get an idea for the next episode. But Gordon, the producer, always wanders around to control them, although he is the one who is constantly losing control.
