dclrkerr Bud Lutz (Scott Bakula) is an ambulance chasing or rather a fender bender chasing, no client, strip mall attorney. Mr. Bakula's comedic timing is played perfectly against that of Patricia Richardson (Home Improvement) and Delane Matthews (Dave's World). Richardson plays the former high school girlfriend who is a successful attorney with a big name firm. She has never quite gotten over the excitement she found with Bud. Bud has a current younger and somewhat ditsy girlfriend played by Matthews. Bud is in a constant state of conflict between his feelings for the current girl and the unrequited high school love.This delightful sitcom showcases Mr. Bakula's talent that propelled him to more serious leading roles as Dr. Sam Beckett in "Quantum Leap" and Captain Jonathan Archer in "Star Trek Enterprise". It also displays the talent of the two actresses proved by their subsequent work.Bakula's comedic style can also be seen in the short lived sitcom "Gung Ho", TV's "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" as well as a number of "Murphy Brown" episodes.Mr. Bakula is a extremely talented multifaceted actor. With a Tony nominated Broadway performance, various other stage performances, a number of movies and several musical CD's to his credit.

budikavlan The big joke on this show was that there was no Eisenhower--Big Bud, the father of the main character, had painted that on the sign to make his son's law firm sound more impressive. Bud (Scott Bakula) was just a tacky storefront lawyer. Bakula is a likable enough actor, but his low-key charm is better suited to more conventional leading-man roles. He wasn't goofy enough for this one. The women in his life were played by Patricia Richardson and DeLane Matthews, who would costar a year later in another short-lived sitcom "FM," before going on to greater fame in "Home Improvement" and "Dave's World," respectively.
