Big Lake is an American comedy television series on Comedy Central that debuted on August 17, 2010,[1] and ran for one season. The series was picked up using a similar model as Tyler Perry's House of Payne and Meet The Browns with an initial 10 episode order by Comedy Central, with an option to pick up the series for an additional 90 episodes, to have 100 episodes available for syndication.[2] The deal was not picked up after Comedy Central passed on a second season.

Premise

After losing his lucrative banking job, Josh is forced to move back to his hometown of Big Lake, Pennsylvania.[3] Now living with his parents on their couch, Josh swears to earn back all the money he lost and repay his parents.[3] There he reunites with his childhood pal Glenn and his favorite high school teacher Mr. Henkel.[3] Each week the three come up with new money making schemes, although due to the ridiculous nature of them, they tend to fail and go horribly wrong every time.[3]

Cast

  • Chris Gethard[4] as Josh Franklin — A disgraced Wall Street hotshot who lost his job and all his money. He now has to move back in with his parents.
  • Horatio Sanz[4] as Glenn Cordoba — Josh's childhood best friend who was recently released from prison.
  • Chris Parnell[4] as Chris Henkel — Josh's favorite teacher from high school, although he has no memory of Josh being one of his former students. Despite being a history teacher, he hates history and despises teaching. He is also the "Deputy Mayor" of Big Lake.
  • Deborah Rush[1] as Linda Franklin — Josh's overly cheerful mother who is often oblivious to everything going on around her, likely caused by her addiction to diet pills.
  • Dylan Blue[1] as Jeremy Franklin — Josh's little brother who isn't as innocent as he pretends to be. Appears to be involved in many criminal activities.
  • James Rebhorn[1] as Carl Franklin — Josh's father. He despises Josh for losing his entire life savings.
