...will be rooting for the Mets. Just for the record, I am really and truly a Pittsburgh Pirates fan - an allegiance that forces me to adopt a team every October. And out of some convoluted sense of loyalty I root pretty consistently for the National League (except for the Atlanta Braves, a team that I despise for obvious reasons). Sometimes, this fidelity to the NL comes with a stiff price: I remember how shocked and disappointed friends and family were when I pulled for the Mets in their 1986 battle against the beleaguered Boston...
...this year, I suspect I'll run into the same sort of disgust. Friends, lifelong New Yorkers, will shake their heads when I explain my decision to back the boys from Queens. Why not root for the Yankees? All that history! All those championships! All that money! But I'll stand firm.

...Hillary from "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air". Her steady presence as the kind, down-to-earth Julie (and the only girl who can resist Leon's charms) provides a refreshing dose of realism that compliments Meadows' outrageous antics, and their unique dynamic gives the audience something to root for. Billy Dee Williams is great as the smooth-voiced Lester, owner of Leon's favorite hangout, the Straight Up Lounge, and occasional narrator of Leon's story. Tiffany Thiessen turns up the heat as the voluptuous Honey DeLune, conjuring memories of her younger (but no less enticing) days on television...
