Guide: Nikki
Executive producer
Bruce Helford has created a new comedy imbued with the same honest,
working-class sensibility that made his The Drew Carey Show an instant
success, but with a sex appeal that only comes from The WB star,
Nikki Cox. Free-spirited Nikki (Nikki
Cox, The Norm Show, Unhappily Ever After) has
trained all her life to be a dancer and is anxious to start her
career as a Las Vegas showgirl.
Dwight (Nick
von Esmarch) dreams of becoming a professional wrestler but
his dominating mother, Marion (Christine
Estabrook), has persuaded him to believe corporate tax law would
be a safer vocation. On the eve of his departure to a California
college, Dwight meets Nikki and soon discovers she's more than just
a girl trying to bum a ride to Las Vegas. She's the love of his
life--and his mother's worst nightmare.
Much to Marion's
eternal chagrin, Nikki convinces Dwight to pursue his blue-collar
dream and they elope to Vegas where he chucks his college plans
to enroll in the nation's top training program for professional
wrestling. So begins the pursuit of their dreams in the world's
most counterfeit city.
Off-the-wall,
unpredictable and yet down-to-earth, Nikki is a new kind
of half-hour situation comedy from executive producers Bruce Helford
and Deborah Oppenheimer (The Norm Show, The Drew Carey
Show) and Warner Bros. Television.
