- Gottfried Bros Toy & Train Co. makes everything from video games to board games, from toy cars to action figures. These toys need to be tested, and those tests are carried out by the lowest rung of the company, the Prototype Department. Working in an office that looks more like a decked-out, nerdy frat house, Crad, Addison, and October test toy and game prototypes for quality, danger and defect. But most of their time is actually spent dealing with bizarre office politics, oddball guests, and their own imaginations. Sitcom adventures ensue, punctuated by off-the-wall live action and animated sketches. Team-leader Crad has some anger management issues, but he's fiercely loyal to his two buddies, and he tries hard to be a good father to his sarcastic, wiser-than-her-years daughter, Susie. Addison is the not-so-bright, but positive and fun-loving guy with a zest for life and an aversion to his ADD medication. And then there's October, a deadpan, well-educated, Edward-Scissorhands-meets-Spock, steam punk enthusiast, living in his own dark little universe. The trio are in nerd heaven, drinking and doing drugs on the job while playing with toys all day but they're easily distracted and impossible to keep on task, not to mention they are constantly thwarted by zany obstacles. Jesse, a corporate-climbing middle management game designer, thinks he's in charge of the Prototypes Department, and is always trying to steal any profitable toy and game ideas. Alexandra, the lustful man-eating boss, is more than willing to abuse her power with her underlings and routinely threatens everyone's jobs. Alexandra's father and the doddering founder, Mr. Gottfried, wanders the company's halls, often making crazy demands for toy designs which the guys must bend over backwards to accommodate. And then there are the Video Game Testers (aka "VGT's"), the other nerdy trio and arch-rivals of the Prototypes, prank the three men and set them up for failure. Numerous guest toy designers, spokespeople, long-lost relatives and other odd folks round out the cast of characters who succeed at making life extra complicated for our heroes. The show's variety of live action and animated comedy sketches spring from the guys' daydreams, their off-color discussions, the toys and games that they test and collect, and moments in the characters' somewhat warped minds.
- A rich and famous self-help guru's controversial philosophy of extreme selfishness is put to the ultimate test when his only daughter is kidnapped and held for ransom.

- Life partners Delmer and Marta of First Nations descent have moved from the "Rez" - the Moon Moose First Nation - to the "big city" of Morningside. Unlike their plan which was for Delmer to get a job in the Alberta oil patch, Marta, sincere to a fault, has become the household breadwinner being the accidental lifestyle host of the local television morning news program, Good Morning Morningside, while Delmer supports her in any way he can, which generally means not very often in a practical way despite his good intentions. Their life in Morningside is an interesting one if only in dealing with their friends and colleagues: Tom Bobadell, their mechanic/cowboy neighbor, Delmer's new best friend and an emotional wreck of a man; Creston, the show's self-absorbed and control-freak of a producer; the show's news co-hosts, ultra-ambitious Lisa Irons and deer-in-the-headlights Chad Hunter; sarcastic and acerbic-tongued Lloyd, the show's floor manager; and the station's interns, Wesley, always searching for love despite his awkward ways, and impressionable Keltie, who is always aiming to please without always achieving the desired result.

- Much to Marta's chagrin, Delmer is a huge fan of professional wrestling, he believing it to be a real sport. He finds kindred spirits in Tom and Chad, the latter who is the ringside announcer for the local franchise, Rodeo Roughhouse. Able to get ringside tickets from Chad, Tom and Delmer turn from spectators to potential participants when Chad informs them that they could form a tag team to replace Farmer Dan and the Pitchfork, who have just quit. Stoked by the idea, Tom and Delmer figure they are a natural team as a cowboy and the "I" word. Because of Marta's feelings about the "sport", Delmer doesn't want to tell her what he and Tom are doing, they wearing masks as part of their stage personae. Delmer may have a different agenda than what is written in the script. Meanwhile, Marta, Keltie and Wesley are working on the show's first exposé, and choose to expose professional wrestling for the fake that it is, Marta who doesn't want to tell Delmer about the exposé.

Delmer has always been scared of Esther who he believes does not like him. Both Tom and Creston believe they have a way to soften Esther's view of Delmer, those two ways which have mixed results. Meanwhile, Keltie seems to have something against fairs in general, especially the midway games. Lloyd helps her confront the very specific issue with which she is dealing.
- Delmer and Tom have been jamming at Delmer and Marta's, much to Marta's chagrin especially when they are doing it in the middle of the night impeding her sleep. It isn't until they find a percussionist in the form of drummer Lloyd that Delmer and Tom feel like they can finally perform at open mic night at the local bar. But in the band moving into the realm of the station, what Lloyd feared would happen, happens: Creston finds out. Creston and Lloyd were once in a band together, which disbanded in Creston taking control. True to what happened last time, Creston does take control of the band. The questions then become if the band can survive Creston, and if Delmer and Tom, the latter who is an emotional wreck at the best of times, recover to what they really wanted to achieve with the band in the first place. Meanwhile, Marta uses her own meditation methods to try and decompress from the late night jam sessions.
- The people at the station throw Marta and Delmer a surprise party in celebration of their first anniversary of arriving in Morningside and Marta working at the station, both which were not what Delmer had Marta had planned when they left the Rez - the Moon Moose First Nation - exactly one year ago. That plan was for Delmer to get a job in the Alberta oil patch, that plan which was sidetracked when Delmer's actions led to the only bridge on/off the Rez being blown up, when they ran out of gas on their drive to the oil patch, and when their beloved pickup truck got sucked up in a tornado. While Creston and his staff who were there at the time have different perspectives of Marta and Delmer's introduction to the station, what they can all agree on is that Marta had no intention or desire to become a television personality. But the question that Keltie has, she the one staff member who wasn't there at the time: what happened to Steve Robertson?

Her excitement ends up being somewhat muted as her colleagues don't seem as sad about her leaving as she wants them to feel, as Creston immediately starts looking for her replacement, as her arch rival, Karen Redwood, seems to be the leading candidate to replace her, and as the public tribute from the station, which is being organized by Keltie, doesn't go quite the way she wants. Are any of these items in and of themselves or in combination enough for Lisa to regret her decision, and if they are is it too late for her to get her old job back? Meanwhile, Delmer, using indigenous methods, tries to help Chad find his mojo in being able to do the newscast on his own, either temporarily or permanently if he is able to convince Creston not to replace Lisa. And Delmer is never too sure when Marta mentions that she needs extra support, whether she is talking about emotional support from him, or physical support for her more than ample front side.
- It's the middle of winter, and budget cuts as a directive from network brass are the cause for some on-air snafus and twenty-three minutes of unscheduled off air time while staff dealt with those snafus. However, Creston has still managed to keep within this reduced budget an imminent trip for himself to a conference in warm and sunny Bora Bora. What Creston also learns is that the one thing the network will not allow him to cut from the budget is a staff retreat, not only in order to team build, but in order to make Creston a more effective manager especially in light of the reduced budget, as the facilitator, First Nations Takoda Calihoo, structures the retreat on the theme of the wolf pack and thus Creston being leader of that pack. Creston has to report back to network brass at the conference meaning that he will have to schedule the retreat for this weekend, about which most of the staff is not too happy in spending their free time together in freezing cold and isolated Fort Morningside, an old fur trading post. As the retreat progresses, they all find that what Takoda, Creston and the staff want out of the weekend are three totally different things. As such, the staff decides to band together to exact a small mutiny not only get what they want out of the weekend, but to implement a more effective allocation of that reduced budget.
- Series Pilot. When Delmer borrows a suit for the local TV awards, his personality begins to take on a side that Marta has never seen.
