Follow Three Young Friends As They Stumble Their Way

Through Life!

A sitcom about the adventures of three twenty-something friends (Berg, Pete and Sharon) set in and around a small urban pizzeria they work at as a side job.

On each episode of TWO GUYS AND A GIRL, this unlikely trio of friends navigate their own career aspirations, love lives and often-ridiculous obsessions. Despite driving one another crazy, they somehow manage to balance each other and stay afloat.

BERG and PETE, are university students who share an apartment and deliver pizza as their side job.  Berg's cavalier approach to life and women is in direct contrast to the overly analytical Pete. 

Enter SHARON, the boys' feisty upstairs neighbor.  Sharon hates her politically incorrect job selling chemicals but loves the amenities her hefty salary affords. 

The pizzeria's steady stream of off-beat characters includes Pete and Berg’s gruff but good-natured boss BILL and the weird MR. BAUER, who loves to offer advice based on his own life experiences — each of which bears a striking resemblance to some old movie or television show.

Then there's MELISSA, Pete's on-again, off-again girlfriend who's sweet, smart, beautiful and very in love with him.  But…  Pete's not sure she's “The One.“

On each episode of TWO GUYS AND A GIRL, this unlikely trio of friends must juggle careers, relationships and crazy adventures.

Berg, 25Berg’s good looks and charm have gotten him far in life, but his reckless demeanor means he often creates disasters in his friends’ lives. He studied philosophy but eventually decided to be a doctor because he liked the idea of having a pager and looking important. When he’s not delivering pizzas, Berg volunteers himself as a Guinea pig in experimental medical testing for a little extra cash.

Pete, 25Pete worries about everything.  He’s obsessed with his studies, his relationship with his girlfriend Melissa, his future career opportunities, and his standing among his friends. Though he has a girlfriend, the neurotic Pete is never content and still always on the look out for “The One.” Despite Berg’s requests to "stop thinking so much," Pete’s ambition and drive will eventually cause him to abandon studying architecture and fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a firefighter.

Sharon, 25Sharon is a tough and feisty firecracker. When confronted, she’ll snap back at anyone – male or female – with the gusto of a street fighter. As opposed to Pete and Berg, Sharon works in ‘the real world,’ having a highly paid job as a spokesperson for a chemical company – a position she describes as "selling my soul."   Though she loves the fancy car she’s able to afford, she’s deeply conflicted about the moral implications of her career. Sharon would rather hang out with Pete and Berg, drinking, gossiping and laughing. Her love life is complicated but this will all change when she meets Johnny.

Melissa, 25 Pete’s girlfriend Melissa is grounded, intelligent and beautiful. On paper, she’s a catch. However, the fickle Pete causes her loads of stress, between his ridiculous neurosis and his never really being sure that he wants to be in a relationship. Melissa deals with it all admirably, though she isn’t afraid to censor herself and yell at him when necessary. She’ll eventually break up with him for good.

Bill, 45Bill is Pete and Berg’s gruff boss who runs the pizza place they work at as delivery guys. His father built the place, and Bill’s life is all about running the business. Acting as a de facto older brother to his two employees, the no-nonsense Bill won’t hesitate to call them out if they’re acting particularly stupid, or threaten them if they’re not doing they’re job.

Mr. Bauer, 55Of all the colorful characters that hang out at the pizza place where the guys work, Mr. Bauer is the weirdest. This delusional eccentric enjoys lying about his life by pretending he is a character in the most famous movies and television shows of all time. Mr. Bauer loves an audience, and won’t hesitate to hold forth on his fictional adventures inspired by the likes of JAWS or TOY STORY. Pete and Berg often push Mr. Bauer into each other’s faces to torture one another.
