Synopsis

Fire Captain Buddy Krebs' 16-year-old daughter Jennie Lee begins getting show-business offers because of her singing talents in the country/pop genre. This scares Buddy because he does not want his daughter to grow up too fast. Adding to his troubles are: his wife runs off with a bellhop; his 17-year-old son has more muscles than brains; and his crew at the firehouse are "strange" Leo Feldman tells his mother he is a doctor instead of a fireman, Frank Rosetti has only sex on the brain and Max Hernandez, a Hispanic, speaks fractured English. Finally, his daughter signs with a manager named Judy "Moose" Wells ; the name fits the description of the woman. Another character on the series was named Tiffany.
