Episode Summary:
Chris finds himself dumped by his girlfriend and questions what women really want. On a location shoot for a music video, he is reminded of his ex-girlfriend by Nedra (Jacqueline Samuda), an attractive, but rigid production accountant on his music video shoot. Nedra seems to have absolutely no interest in Chris when he tries to talk to her, but then every night she does a strip-tease in the hotel room across the alley from his, apparently oblivious to him. Unnerved, Chris consults his psychologist mother (who plays herself in a cameo), but Dr. Isaak will only tell him to come to terms with his own libido. Further complicating matters is actress Bai Ling, who co-stars in the video with Chris. She arrives on set with a head full of insecurities and a jealous kickboxer boyfriend. Not that anyone else in the band is doing any better with affairs of the heart. Anson's romance with Jodie (Rebecca Nygard), a young horsewoman, fizzles when he finds himself intimidated by the thought that she'll compare him to her well-endowed stallion. And Yola's scheme to land Chris a prime slot on a television special, takes an unexpected turn after she sends her competitive associate Cody to win over the network's president, Clay Choper (Mark Houghton), who happens to be partial to young men.

I never checked the series out, when it was originally running. I thought it was a late night variety talk show, like Jay Leno. D’oh
