[1] Series star Matt LeBlanc played the character of Vinnie Verducci on all three shows, as did Joey Lauren Adams as Mona Mullins, although she only appeared in the backdoor pilot of the Married... with Children episode.
Set in Chicago, Illinois, the series centers on Vinnie Verducci (Matt LeBlanc),[3] a construction worker, and his roommate, Bobby Grazzo (Robert Torti) who share the same apartment Vinnie and his father once shared.
One theme this show added to its predecessor is at the end of two episodes, the cast would begin an a cappella rendition of a song; for example, in episode 5 Vinnie, Bobby, Bill, Stanley and Fred begin to sing "Get a Job" by The Silhouettes before the end credits roll.
Vinnie must learn to write poetry and Bobby must become a physics professor to get dates with their high school girlfriends.
Bobby's shopping spree ruins Vinnie's plans of buying a motorcycle.
