Freud's
dilemma
(1X01)
|
Chris
finds himself dumped by his girlfriend and questions what women
really want. On a location shoot for a music video, he is reminded
of his ex-girlfriend by Nedra (JACQUELINE SAMUDA), an attractive,
but rigid production accountant on his music video shoot. Nedra
seems to have absolutely no interest in Chris when he tries to talk
to her, but then every night she does a strip-tease in the hotel
room across the alley from his, apparently oblivious to him. Unnerved,
Chris consults his psychologist mother (who plays herself in a cameo),
but Dr. Isaak will only tell him to come to terms with his own libido.
Further complicating matters is actress Bai Ling, who co-stars in
the video with Chris. She arrives on set with a head full of insecurities
and a jealous kickboxer boyfriend. Not that anyone else in the band
is doing any better with affairs of the heart. Anson's (JED REES)
romance with Jodie (REBECCA NYGARD), a young horsewoman, fizzles
when he finds himself intimidated by the thought that she'll compare
him to her well-endowed stallion. And Yola's (KRISTIN DATTILO) scheme
to land Chris a prime slot on a television special, takes an unexpected
turn after she sends her competitive associate Cody (GREG WINTER)
to win over the network's president, Clay Choper (MARK HOUGHTON),
who happens to be partial to young men. |

When
Anson (JED REES) is arrested for unpaid parking tickets, Chris catches
the eye of the lovely Bonnie (GABRIELLE MILLER), one of the arresting
officers. Bonnie gives Chris her number and later, when they go
out on a date, Chris finds himself strangely aroused by her stories
of life on the beat. But Bonnie has a dark side and Chris soon has
second thoughts about pursuing the beauty with the badge. Meanwhile,
Yola (KRISTIN DATTILO) is experiencing her own strange attraction
for Dr. Morse (ROBERT WISDEN), the handsome sleep specialist she's
seeing for her insomnia. And Anson, assigned to community service
for 37 unpaid parking tickets, is thrilled to find himself rubbing
elbows with Bret Michaels . |

Crimes
and Punishment
(1X03)
|
In
an attempt to win favor with his new love interest and duet partner,
movie star Minnie Driver, Chris agrees to take care of her English
sheepdog, Otto. Unfortunately, Chris forgets Otto's special food.
Before he knows it, the pet rabbit, Mr. Whiskers, who belongs to
the little girl next door, lies dead and covered in dirt, apparently
a victim of the hungry and oversized dog. Desperate, Chris tries
to cover for Otto, washing the dirt from the bunny's fur and blow-drying
him to make it look as though Mr. Whiskers died of natural causes.
Meanwhile, Chris's manager Yola (KRISTIN DATTILO) and his keyboard
player Anson (JED REES) are having their own troubles. Yola's got
problems in the boardroom when her hot-shot colleague Cody (GREG
WINTER) makes her feel old and out of touch. Anson's problems are
in the bedroom. His latest girlfriend Carol (LINNEA JOHNSON) is
hot, but she's deeply religious and she's wracked by guilt whenever
they make love. Anson finds her innocence and tortured spirituality
strangely arousing, until he too gets the feeling that God is watching
them. |

For
a long time, Chris has been stalked by Kim (ELIZA MURBACH), a mousy
fan who is so obsessed with him that she camps outside his house
and tries to win him over with homemade banana bread. She suddenly
disappears, leaving behind only a red tennis shoe. Chris is at first
relieved, but then, he begins to worry and hires Ray (BEN CARDINAL),
a musician-turned-private detective to track her down. And Kim's
disappearance isn't the only mystery. At an auction of celebrity
memorabilia, Chris gets into a bidding war with Joe Walsh over a
guitar owned by Elvis' sideman Scotty Moore, only to be beaten out
by an anonymous phone bidder. Yola (KRISTIN DATTILO) is determined
to find out who got the guitar, so much so that she sabotages a
blossoming relationship with Denver Lane (PETER WINGFIELD), the
antique expert and auctioneer who oversaw the sale. Anson, meanwhile,
is doing some sabotaging of his own. When his father Merrill (KEVIN
MCNULTY), a demanding figure who doesn't approve of his music, asks
him and his sister Marissa (RITA BOZI) to play a piece by Brahms
at their mother's birthday, Anson can't help but do everything possible
to mess things up, including bringing along tattooed punk rock singer
Bif Naked. |

Chris is initially thrilled when cousin Ordell
(JOHNNY RENO) shows up in town with his new band. His excitement
turns to dismay when he discovers that Ordell's new band, Blue
Hotel, is a Chris Isaak tribute band. If it was anyone else, Chris
would raise hell, but he still feels guilty about his role in
a lawn-dart accident that cost Ordell a toe years before. Ordell
borrows Chris's clothes and dates his old girlfriends. When Ordell
records a cheesy commercial for a fried chicken outlet using one
of Chris's songs, Chris finally has to speak up. Meanwhile, Chris's
band members are both intrigued and appalled by their alter-egos
in the tribute band."

Hurricane
(1X06)

When his band's guitar tech drunkenly passes
out backstage, Chris hires Jimmy Vane, an amazing player who used
to front a band called the Hurricanes, to replace him. It turns
out Jimmy's had a few rough years since Chris last heard him play
- substance abuse problems, some time in jail for petty theft
- but he swears he's clean now and he does know guitars. Things
are okay at first, but soon Chris senses that Jimmy resents his
success and Hershel isn't too happy when Jimmy steals the spotlight
after being invited onstage to play with Silvertone. Hershel isn't
the only one with a rival. Yola is surprised to discover that
her formerly chunky college pal Meg has slimmed down considerably
and now uses her newly luscious boby to provide inspiration for
great songwriter - in short, guys like Chris. Meanwhile Anson
finds his own form of feminine - if somewhat ghoulish - inspiration
in Lisa, the makeup girl at the funeral parlour where he's landed
a moonlighted gig playing organ.

T&A
(1X07)

Chris's public image takes a weird turn when
his old girlfriend, comic Caroline Rhea, tells The Daily Scoop
tabloid that Chris was shy about showing his butt when they had
sex. When Chris tries to set the record staight, it only gets
worse. He shows Rhea what she accused him of hiding (by mooning
her over the video phone), and she takes a picture and posts it
on the internet, turning his behind into a cause celebre. Chris
confronts the tabloid reporter, a middle-aged man named Tricia,
who promises to fix things only to manufacture a picture of Chris
dressed up like a stereotypical gay leatherman. Anson meanwhile,
hits up Chris for $2,000 to pay for his girlfriend's medical treatment,
neglecting to mention that the treatment is breast enhancement
surgery. And Yola, eager to outshine her rival Cody at a birthday
party for Leon, the head of the agency, tells a few white lies
to score the loan of an $8,000 dress from a high-end boutique.
