Written and produced by the award-winning production company Soup2Nuts,
O'Grady, is a comedic look at real teenage life -- the relationships, the
drama and the 'weirdness.' Co-created by Tom Snyder and Carl Adams, O'Grady
is a cross between Friends and The Twilight Zone, where the real meets the
surreal. The series revolves around four self-centered high school
students -- Abby, Beth, Kevin and Harold -- who deal with their everyday
teenage existence while putting up with the 'weirdness,' an inexplicable
bizarre, phenomena that afflicts their town. The 'weirdness,' which comes and
goes, isn't dangerous, but can definitely cause a change of plans. Each week
it manifests itself differently. Some examples include when you get angry
your body automatically produces a clone of yourself or if in a great mood,
gravity ceases and you float away. Usually, the people of O'Grady just ignore
it -- but sometimes they use the 'weirdness' to their advantage. The theme
song for O'Grady was written by Andre Lyman, Director of Animation, Soup2Nuts
and performed by recording artist, Kelly Osbourne.
