Cusack, starring in her first television comedy series, portrays Joan Gallagher, a high school teacher who depends on the daily support, counsel, and friendship of her two best friends Ruby (Donna Murphy), a psychiatrist, and Betsy (Jessica Hecht), a music teacher at the school. Although Ruby appears to be the picture of strength and stability, she allows herself to be taken advantage of by Betsy, who is locked into an on-again, off-again relationship with fellow teacher Mark (Wallace Langham). Joan also bonds with Alice Adams (Kellie Shanygne Williams), who is a new student teacher at the high school. Shot entirely on location in Chicago, the series focuses on the private lives of an intimate group of high school teachers and explores the complexity and endurance of close friendships among women, as well as the challenging relationship between Joan and Jake (Kyle Chandler) two bright, independent, experienced people as they blunder toward intimacy. e7e Written by Anonymous
