Golden Globe nominee Jenna Elfman ("ed TV") and Thomas Gibson (Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut") star in the romantic half-hour comedy, "Dharma & Greg." The series celebrates the power of true love to overcome the obstacles in a marriage of opposites. Despite the challenges of a marriage that began on their first date, Dharma and Greg remain truly in love.
Elfman is Dharma Finkelstein, a free-spirited San Francisco yoga instructor/dog trainer. Raised by bohemian parents, Dharma approaches everything with unbridled passion, honesty and openness. Since childhood, Dharma was taught to shun convention, trust her wildest instincts and truly find the joy in each day of her life.
Gibson is Greg Montgomery, an conventional, but surprisingly open-minded, Harvard-educated U.S. Attorney, who still finds Dharma's energy absolutely irresistible. By following Dharma's advice to listen to his heart over his head, Greg found the love of his life and entered a world he never imagined.
Love at first sight is a concept Dharma takes very seriously, and when she first lays eyes on Greg Montgomery, a Harvard-educated U.S. Attorney, she's sure he's the one. Despite the fact they come from completely different worlds, the feeling is mutual. Greg finds Dharma's energy irresistible and before their first date is over -- the two are married.
Dharma's counter-culture parents, Abby (Mimi Kennedy) and Larry (Alan Rachins), struggle to keep their daughter from being swallowed into the "dark side," as they see Greg's country-club family. At the same time, Greg's uptight, blue-blood parents, Kitty (Susan Sullivan) and Edward (Mitchell Ryan), encourage the young couple toward a more "normal" way of life or, failing that, try to keep their daughter-in-law from dancing naked on the roof.
And so continues the celebration and challenge of the lives and marriage of Dharma and Greg, two romance-fated opposites completely committed to each other despite the insanity of their respective dysfunctional families and craziness of the world around them.
"Dharma & Greg" also stars Joel Murray as Pete and Shae D'Lyn as Jane. Executive produced by Chuck Lorre, Dottie Dartland, Brian Medavoy and Erwin More, the series was created by Chuck Lorre and Dottie Dartland. Bill Prady and Regina Stewart serve as co-executive producers and Randy Cordray serves as producer. Filmed in Los Angeles in front of an audience, "Dharma & Greg" is a Chuck Lorre Production and a 4 to 6 Foot Production in association with 20th Century Fox Television.
