Earlier this year I created my own show called "Life after High School". It's kind of like Three's Company, but in my opinion, it's alot better.

Starring
Matt Harris (age 18-21)
Tyler Miller (age 18-21)
Danielle Reed (age 18-21)
Kevin Reynolds (age 60-63)

Story: Matt Harris, Tyler Miller, and Danielle Reed are best friends, and about to graduate High School. Their parents insist that they move out of their homes as soon as they graduate. They are forced to move into one apartment together.

Matt wants to be a cartoonist, Tyler wants to be a chef, and Danielle (Dani) wants to be a doctor. Together these three make the perfect trio.
