The Tom Show

Genre: Sitcom

Premise: Licking his wounds following a messy divorce, Tom Amross and his two daughters, Kenlon and Elissa, return to his hometown of St. Paul, Minn., in search of a fresh start. Tom quickly lands a producing gig with old pal Charlie Dickerson, host of the long-running morning TV show ``Breakfast With Charlie.'' Tom's idea to boost ratings -- bringing in free-thinking, much younger Florence Madison as a co-host -- ruffles a bunch of feathers around the set, including those of skeptical new station manager Tanya Cole. Fortunately, Tom can always bask in the praise of brown-nosing production assistant Jonathan Summers, who regards Tom as ``the man who helped re-invent daytime television.''
