Bobby Wheeler (from Taxi) moves to California to become an actor. That happened in his last "Taxi" episode. This spin-off just follows his life post-Taxi. He first rooms with his college buddy Paul Carrington. Fred Holiday is their annoying neighbor who tries to be their friend. Wendy Smith is Bobby's agent and Carrie is her sister. Carrie has a crush on Bobby and so is always around her sister whenever Bobby visits.
Season One Episodes: 1982
1. "California Here I Am"
Bobby Wheeler officially moves to California to make it as an actor. He moves into an apartment with his old college buddy, Paul Carrington. Bobby's agent, Wendy Smith gets him his first audition - as a character in a children's TV show. In the end, Bobby fails the audition (for which he's kind of glad) and the annoying Fred Holiday moves next door and befriends Bobby and Paul.
2. "Bobby & Carrie & Paul"
Paul asks Carrie out on a date. She accepts only because she thinks it will bring her closer to Bobby. That night, when Paul brings Carrie home, her and Bobby hit it off. Paul leaves the room and comes back to find it empty. Bobby and Carrie have gone off together. The next day, Paul decides to confront Bobby about his anger.
3. "The Big Gig"
Wendy gets Bobby an audition for a sitcom about a rock band. Bobby gets excited about it and decides he wants to really learn how to play the guitar. He turns to Paul for lessons. In the end, Bobby doesn't get the role but he does learn how to play the guitar.
4. "Two Months, a Job and a Bed"
Two months into his stay at California, Bobby goes for an audition in the role of a cab driver. He gets cast in the movie and celebrates with Paul, Wendy, Carrie and even Fred. The party goes all night and they all get drunk. So drunk that Bobby and Fred wake up in the same bed. They then have to figure out how and why they slept in the same bed.

13. "A Crack at Writing"
Bobby, fed up with no acting job, decides to write a movie about his days as a cab driver. Meanwhile, Paul, Wendy and Carrie go over to Fred Holiday's apartment for his birthday party. Once Bobby has finished the script he tries to sell it but fails. Then he's in a deep depression over more failure. Paul and Fred end the episode by sitting next to Bobby in his living room. Paul hands the guys a beer and they toast "tomorrow", with whatever it brings.
After the season finale, George Wendt quit "Bobby" to do the sitcom "Cheers". Kind of funny, Wendt's character of Paul tried so hard to stay away from Kelsey Grammer's Fred Holiday. However two years later, Grammer would follow him and join the cast of "Cheers".
I'll fill in the gaps later. I just wanted to post this already.
