IMDb profile

Freddie was a television sitcom created by, and starring, Freddie Prinze, Jr. Freddie is inspired by Freddie Prinze Jr.'s real life, growing up in a house filled with women (his mother and Puerto Rican grandmother). His life-long friend, Conrad Jackson, co-created this series with Prinze, along with executive producers Bruce Helford and Bruce Rasmussen. The friendship between Freddie and Chris (played by Brian Austin Green of Beverly Hills 90210 fame) in the show is loosely based on Conrad and Freddie's lives. It was reported by Variety on May 12, 2006, that ABC has decided not to renew the series, which was confirmed on May 15. The show has just premiered on Trouble in the UK

[edit] Plot

Freddie Moreno (Prinze) had finally escaped from the raucous house of women with whom he grew up. Having achieved some success as head chef at a trendy Chicago restaurant, he is ready for love and everything else that single life has to offer, including hanging out with his best friend and neighbor, Chris (Brian). Unfortunately, there's one slight hitch: after the death of his older brother and the collapse of his sister's (Jacqueline Obradors from NYPD Blue) marriage, Freddie took in his impulsive sister-in-law (Mädchen Amick of Twin Peaks), his pragmatic sister with her 13-year-old daughter (Chloe Suazo from The Comeback) and their irascible grandma (Jenny Gago from Coach Carter), who refuses to speak English and only responds in Spanish -- even though she understands every word. But while the members of this unconventional brood may test Freddie's patience endlessly, they also support and take care of one another, just as they always have. Now all Freddie has to do is figure out how to maintain his thriving bachelor lifestyle in a house overflowing with estrogen.
