 Main Char-ACTORS

​     RUBY TRAVIS is a sports widow. Over 113.06 million viewers watched Super Bowl LVII  in 2023, many of which were men, and you can bet there are just as many sports widows. Ruby has come to loathe sports for kidnapping her husband 11 months out of the year and is tired of coming in 2nd Place. If only Gus would remember her birthday, their anniversary, or to pick up the kids from school. She writes her Honey-Do List of chores on long rolls of toilet paper in the bathroom so Gus doesn't forget. The list is always getting between Gus and "The Game." Sound familiar? This causes conflict in their marriage. But by the end of each episode they’ve worked things out and everything somehow gets put back together. 

     There’s one thing about a gal who has lots of secrets and that is she’ll bury yours to safekeep her own. Ruby has no intention of ever walking into Gus’ mancave to spy on what lurks there, and she fully expects her husband to return the favor. A detail every folk in Bakersfield knows is that Ruby has breast implants and a bomb shelter in her backyard. It’s ob​vious what she’s hiding behind her chest, but what’s down in her underground vault? An episode reveals the secret cellar houses a crypt full of trendy shoes—Calvin Klein, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, and more. It’s a monumental subterranean walk-in closet, chock-full of every designer shoe imaginable, size 7 1/2.

CENTRAL FAMILY

    

    

    

   GUS TRAVIS is a sports fanatic extraordinaire. He's addicted

to sports―televised and otherwise―that’s the NFL, NHL, NBA,

MLB, PGA , and UFC. Our lead is the personification of every major

sports fan in the country. He lives and breathes sports, 24/7.

     Gus' unadulterated sports fanaticism and the heavy price he pays for

it is the core of our comedy and the heart of the series. Most of us can identify with Gus' plight; he lost a precious sport's career

to an early injury and longs for his glory days. He doesn't do yoga, and therefore can't cope.

     Gus is proud of his .03 acre of land. He would be fine just living in a trailer, and does. Who wouldn’t be? "It’s paid for," he constantly   reminds those in town who still pay a house mortgage. Without question, he'd like a doublewide. Living in a trailer with a broken toilet

isn't the safest place to live, especially when you have to cope with Gus’ irritable bowel syndrome in close quarters with no ceiling fan; anyone who’s ever lived in a trailer knows what a “mercy flush” is. Gus can’t read, has poor hygiene, and is terrible with directions. He’s “in-like” with his tools in a big way, owns big wrenches and bigger hammers, yet there’s nothing that compares to what Gus calls the "Gift of the Gods”―duct tape. When it comes to fixing things around the house, Gus uses duct tape for everything!

RUBY

​     CHEEZ, 11, is their precocious, trendy daughter. She's fad prone, and speaks all the latest text and slag. Hell, she invented most of it!  Everything is IMO (in my opinion) and SSDD (same stuff, different day) with Cheez, including what stands between her and becoming an adolescent teenager—her pesky brother, Trevor. The two are at incessantly at odds and carry around with them an actual playbook filled with schematics and diagrams they've devised on how to out prank their sibling rivalry. Her greatest asset is that she's got booksmarts, but Trevor has streetsmarts.

​     TREVOR, 8, is their multiple personality son. He's like any other 8 yr old—dubious, yet undaunted about the world he lives in. Instead, he's serially obsessed with the world of comic books and pg. 25 of his priceless Spiderman Secret Wars, Issue 8. that goes for 3 million, but he can't part with it. He's not taking your word for it any "time" and will have the Rolex off your arm in pieces just to see how it ticks. He wants to know two things: How things operate and how girls function, all in an attempt to control his nemesis sister, Cheez. 

     Rounding out  the Travis mania is CHIP, 3, a sports-mesmerized toddler who's rarely seen without a "ball" in hand or worshipping Gus like he's a sports god.​

  The Wallace Neighbors

     REGGIE WALLACE. Reggie, African American, is a U.S. mail carrier and the most credible

and reliable of the posse. He’s got integrity, a bank account, a government job, and a sworn badge to protect the

confidentiality of America. Heck, he sorts through thousands of sensitive letters and documents in a single day

at the post office. There’s not an envelope he won’t reseal, nor stamp he won’t re-lick just so the mail gets to its

intended recipient on time. Reggie’s most trusted friend is his mail truck, Nessie; it is unquestionably the most

dependable vehicle on the road, bar none. He also has a heliport atop his roof and anxiously awaits the day in Bakersfield when an emergency package such as an organ transplant needs delivered to the county hospital by Wallace Air. The organ donor becomes available in Episode 6.
     Reggie loves to fish―nothing’s more enjoyable than afternoons cooking in his bathrobe, nothing tastier than fresh catfish, battered in corn meal, splattered with Tabasco, and bathed in a hot skillet of butter. “The uglier the catfish, the better it tastes,” says Reggie.

ONYX

     ONYX WALLACE is married to a postal service worker and mailman-slash-preacher. You’d expect everything to be delivered religiously on time, but some Gems are not so lucky. When it comes to Reggie and household duties, everything still gets done in post-fashion. Weekend chores are just not Reggie’s thing, and besides, he has a church congregation of “one” to save… but it’s growing!

     The Wallace home is all about comfort, and Onyx tries to keep the nest cozy. She owns countless pairs of comfy pajamas, an endless assortment of fuzzy animal slippers, and, she can’t seem to refrain from putting fabric softener on everything. Even the outside flowers are soft. The last trip the Wallace’s took was to the edge of town and back. Reggie called it one of those new-fangled staycations. Onyx spent the next few days down at the local beauty salon, cooling off and ringing up Reggie’s credit card with a full beauty spa treatment, including a Mani and Pedi. 

     The WALLACE KIDS. Reggie wanted his children to have the best of what

life had to offer, so he named them after presidents. For his two star children

athletes, WASHINGTON and REAGAN, it actually worked. But for the 

​remaining three at home, OBAMA CLINTON and THE BUSH, it may

have stunted their growth.

... Though, he still has faith and hope in newborn BABY TRUMP.

      THEY 

  NAMED ME, 

    "THE BUSH."

  WHAT WERE

      THEY

   THINKING?
