This approach lends greater interaction and immersion to its audience in a way that other sitcoms could not, giving viewers the feeling of being active participants in the unfolding story. The main character remains unnamed throughout the series, referred to only as 'you,' further instigating the idea that the audience is the protagonist.

The basic premise of the show centers around living in an apartment with two roommates and balancing two different romantic interests, Jessica, the attractive but slightly clingy ex-girlfriend who's working on becoming a model, and Mandy, an adventurous and spontaneous girl-next-door type who is always ready for a fresh, new experience.
