Plot
The show focused on the life of Spunn Tight (Larry Beond), a former cop who is banned from surface level New York City because of gambling and tax evasion. To avoid jail time for these crimes, Spunn must live in an underground cavern as a full-time social worker among a community of television obsessed men, helping them deal with their television obsessions and aid them in their daily tasks. Other characters in the show include fellow social workers Trabby Johnson (Melissa Dupez), Elfer Pent (Lars Vleicher), and Spunn's sometime girlfriend and former prostitute Reema Teema (Rachel Homrad). Spunn's boss on the program for the first several episodes was named Nelson Bridewell (Barry Husher). This character was quickly replaced by a new boss, Rimmer Tanned (Victor Wells), whom Spunn frequently antagonized and pranked.
