The Winner - Pazsaz Entertainment Network

The Winner premiered on FOX on March 4, 2007. A 43-and-a-half-year-old narrator, who is incredibly rich and successful, looks way back to 1994. It was the magical summer when O.J. was on the run, Snoop Dogg was climbing the charts, and he lost his innocence and started to become a man - at the tender age of 32. Back in 1994, Glen Abbott, still living with his parents, finally steps out into the world and tries to make something of himself when the only girl he'd ever kissed, the radiant Alison Miller, returns to town. True, he went on one date with her when he was 14, but hey, the first love is always the deepest. Driven by the desire to become a success and win Alison's heart, Glen goes through his "wonder years" a mere 20 years older than, well, most everyone. But it's not in vain, as this unlikely underdog will eventually transform from fear-riddled underachiever to the richest man in Buffalo in a mere five years. Luckily, Glen doesn't have to go though this awkward period alone. He becomes best friends with the only person he can truly relate to: Alison's 14-year-old son Josh. Josh is a fellow hypochondriac, and they help each other survive "puberty." Glen also receives parental guidance from his absurdly enabling mother Irene and his supportive but quasi-rage-aholic dad Ron.
