Set in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, in the town of Marquette, the viewer is invited into the daily world of a socially awkward middle school choir teacher and his local friends. Far from the worn-out & predictable sarcasm of so much television comedy, Joe's humor is subtle, dry, charming, and incredibly endearing to the point of making you want to know the character personally.
By way of each episode, Joe takes us on a journey through various topics such as: how great breakfast is, Jack-o'-lanterns attaining 1/16th of the pumpkin carver's soul & how to re-grow your soul, talking you back to sleep since you are awake so late, what it's like to hear an amazing song for the first time before you heard it played 20 billion times, and even the Rat Wars of Alberta, Canada and more!
Accompanied by a cast of fantastic characters, the show's often-humorous - and sometimes subtle - references to the odd qualities of Michigan's Upper Peninsula culture are so sharply accurate, it really makes me wonder if one of the producers of the show might have spent significant time there.
Do yourself a favor and take the time to really watch this wonderful show. You'll love it.
