Description: Jasper T. "J. T." Kallikak is a coal miner from Appalachia who inherits a run-down two-pump gas station in the fictional town of Nowhere, California. Thinking that, as his own boss, he will have a better life, he moves his impoverished family, his overly affectionate wife Venus, his status-seeking teenage daughter Bobbie Lou, and his 10-year-old son Junior from West Virginia to California to run the station. J. T.'s boarder and only employee is Oscar Heinz, a German immigrant who can barely speak English and as a result often gets things mixed up.
