This series is about a college-graduate girl, Jaye, who has chosen to live in a trailer park and work at a gift shop in her hometown. Her family is pretty eccentric and become increasingly more involved in her life (her father is a doctor, mother an author, sister a lawyer, and brother a student studying religion). Her best friend, Mahandra, provides for her a way to sort things out and the new bartender, Eric, despite his complicated situation, quickly catches her eye--even though she may not admit it even to herself.
Jaye was pretty self-centered but becomes increasingly more aware of others when inanimate animal figures suddenly become animate and tell her to do things, which she always eventually does--at first to avoid their singing, which keeps her up all night, and then because she sees the good effects her "forced" actions bring. She debates if God or Satan is speaking to her and thus also debates her sanity, but can't bring herself to ignore the animals' biddings. What the animals say are never as straight-forward as they initially seem and there's no way one could guess their true meaning (unless he/she's seen the episode already) so they always keep you guessing--not to mention laughing! The dialog of the characters on this show is excellent and there's also a lot of inner conflict in the different characters regarding religion, sanity, and identity.
All the actors in this show portrayed their characters to a "T" and interact so well together! I can't imagine a better selection.
