The series followed five recent high school graduates living in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, Presto, a cab driver, Socks, who worked in a clothing store, Figgy, a supermarket deliveryman, Joey, a plummer, and Turtle, who worked in his family's restaurant. Together they called themselves 'The Flatbush Fungos'.
The ethnic stereotypes in the series so offended the real-life Brooklyn Borough president that he publicly demanded it be canceled.
