S01E12: Miss Janie Regrets
Steven is watching public television as he serves himself some cold cereal (while imitating Julia Child). It is revealed that he is infatuated with children's TV star Miss Janie Hathaway When Miss Janie announces a drawing contest where the winner gets to have breakfast with her, Steven and Pepper enter, claiming Steven is the uncle of a boy whose mother recently died. They win, and Steven gets prepared for a romantic meal. However, when Miss Janie arrives, she proves not to be as sweet as she seems, and she suspects Steven just brought her over to further an acting career. She has him help her an audition for a soap opera, which calls for her to kiss him passionately. She also invites him to her one-woman show, "I, Karen: The Beat Did Not Go On", an avant-garde musical about Karen Carpenter playing at the Justine Bateman playhouse. Steven attends the show, which he finds so boring that he drifts to sleep and dreams himself starring in a one-man show about Mark Twain.
Overview
Spun off from his one man show, Steven bank: Home Entertainment Center, is this one season fun series. Again, Steven has regular goals including work, home and relationships and again, his goals are impeded by his own penchant for distraction. Steven is as talented as ever, but with this series he is joined by Teresa Parente and Michael Kostroff, both of which play multiple characters with amazing dexterity and skill. In the end, the show is a fun excuse to work together Steven's imitations and songs, of which he has even crafted an album!
