Premise
Tucker's parents have divorced, and so he is forced to move into his despised aunt Claire's house, with her decidedly calmer airplane pilot husband Jimmy and strange cousin Leon. Originally disappointed at the arrangement, he spots their gorgeous neighbor McKenna. From that point forward, he valiantly attempts to become her boyfriend, competing with Seth Green, who was 26 at the time of shooting, dating the 14 year old girl, who was 21 at the time of shooting.
The series revolves around divorce, teenage culture and an adult's romantic love of a child.
In the UK and Ireland, the show aired on Nickelodeon.
