List of Life on a Stick episodes

"Pilot" is the pilot episode of the television show Life on a Stick.

[edit] Plot Synopsis

The episode starts when the main character (Laz Lackerson) has to find a job or otherwise leave his parents' house forever. So he finds a job at the Yippee Hot Dogs food court restaurant. Once there, he finds that working life is no different than high school with its cliques and power people. The rest of the series becomes a struggle for Laz to remain in his parents' house and to work for the Yippee Hot Dogs food stand at the local shopping mall.

[edit] Reception

Lucio Guerrero of the Chicago Sun-Times described the pilot as "more like a Nickelodeon show than a Fox production."[1] Nat Gertler noted that the main characters speak primarily in expository dialog, which sometimes works, but felt that the actors are unable to pull it off.[2]
