[edit] Plot
Jim London is a young scallywag who gets into all types of problems with the law and spends most of his time getting drunk and chasing women - with hilarious consqeuences - in a curious parallel to Davidson's real life. Although it ran for three series, this sitcom has been oft-listed as one of the unfunniest of all time.
