Episode 1 - Pilot

Two young women push their sisterly relationship to the limits by becoming roommates when their single father takes a job in Japan. Fun-loving 16-year-old Holly Tyler (series star AMANDA BYNES) moves in with her straitlaced 28-year-old sister, Valerie Tyler (series star JENNIE GARTH), in New York City. Just when Val thinks she's got the perfect life--a promising career in public relations, a handsome and free-spirited boyfriend, Jeff (series star SIMON REX), and her own Upper West Side apartment--everything in her neatly regimented life starts to unravel as soon as Holly stumbles through the door. Holly's pal Gary (series star WESLEY JONATHAN) loves the new arrangement, since he is enamored with Val, who can barely remember his name. Meanwhile, Holly wreaks havoc at Val's big event featuring skateboarder TONY HAWK (himself).
