From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Plot
Fire Captain Buddy Krebs' (Dennehy) 16-year-old daughter Jennie Lee (Maisnik) begins getting show-business offers because of her singing talents in the country/pop genre. This scares Buddy because he does not want his daughter to grow up too fast. Adding to his troubles, are (1) his wife runs off with a bellhop, (2) his 17-year-old son (Michael Dudikoff) has muscle instead of brains in his head, (3) his crew down at the firehouse are "strange": Leo Feldman (Todd Susman) tells his mother he is a doctor instead of a fireman, Frank Rosetti (George DelHoyo) has only sex on the brain and Max Hernandez (Danny Mora), a Hispanic, speaks fractured English. Finally, his daughter signs with a manager named Judy "Moose" Wells (Judy Pioli); the name fits the description of the woman.[1] Another character on the series was named Tiffany (played by Amanda Wyss).
