Plot[]
Anthony Jordson (Anthony Broward, Westfield Patrol) is a widower living in Eastville, New York with his sons Michael (Kevin Smiley), a high-school student and star of Eastville High School's football team, and John (Peter Swayde, Microton I), a high-school graduate who hopes to become an actor. The Jordsons constantly have to put up with their mischievous neighbors Matthew Kelford (John Kuniz) and his son Travis (Michael Booker Smithford), who seem to be nuisances most of the time.
