Season 5
(1997)
Overview
We return again during the fifth season through more comedy that complements the events of the previous season. The season begins with Brighton, who unexpectedly won a radio contest and the prize is that the film crew will come home to get a music video. On the other hand, when the crew of film producers comes, things seem to change completely as a duplicate version of Fran appears, and Maxwell begins to waive them unexpectedly.
