Mission Hill

S01E04: Andy vs. The Real World (or The Big-Ass Viacom Lawsuit)

Andy signs up for The Real World, planning to play the Puck character to show Mission Hill what a crock it all is, but once in the house, he finds himself under MTV's spell.

Overview

Meet overqualified, underemployed, 24-year-old Andy French. Ambition: to be a cartoonist. Occupation: salesman at Waterbed World. Hobby: Where's the party? But responsibility soon knocks on the door of the loft apartment Andy shares with two fellow slackers when Kevin, a nerdy 17 -year-old who wears his SAT score on his shirt and his admiration for big brother Andy on his sleeve, moves in. And, for good measure, so does the French family's dog. Friends, roomies, canines, countrymen: lend me your beers. They're all part of the daze of Andy's life.
