Description: The premise of the show was a Cold War romance, where, Phyl, a 19-year old track star, falls for Mikhy, 22 year old Russian decathlete. Phyl is a great athlete, but not a cook, and can only make toast. To save money, the couple move in with Phyl's father Max. Mikhy is unfamiliar with American culture and technology, which actress Murphy Cross has suggested made the show a type of precursor to Perfect Strangers. Character Vladimir Gimenko keeps trying to get Mikhy to return to Russia.
