What do you get with a small budget and 3 extremely talented comics? In this case, The Steven Banks show! Spun off from his special "Steven Banks: Home Entertainment Center", Banks creates and performs a somewhat fictitious auto-biographical story of a regular man, who suffers from the inability to stay focused. Work, home upkeep, and relationships all suffer when children's toys and costumes send him off on each unique tangent. The series has a very thin, over-riding structure - Can he or can't he win the love of his superintendent, Mariana. The series is a showcase of Bank's musical and comic work, as much as it is a study in characters portrayed by Teresa Parente and Michael Kostoff. And on that rare occasion, a guest star will appear. The show is now difficult to find, relegated mostly to weak quality from those who had the foresight to set their VCR.
