26 episodes
(TV-14 - adult language, adult themes, adult situations)

PLOT:
June Colburn moves from Indiana to New York City to pursue her dream job, until she finds out that it no longer exists. She ends up moving in with a "bon vivant" party girl named Chloe. Chloe keeps her apartment by inviting roommates to move in, asking for the rent up front, and then behaving outrageously until they leave. June proves more difficult to dislodge than expected, and when June reverses Chloe's latest attempt to eject her in an unexpected fashion, they end up forming an unlikely friendship.

season 1 - 
Studly biker Scott is too attractive for June to turn down the blind date Chloe pushes her to, which even leads to great sex. Her reluctance to go on when she finds out Scott is Chloe's estranged father graduates to indignant shock when her mother arrives, in a wheelchair, desperate to patch up her broken marriage. Nosy neighbor Eli analyzes the psychological minefield. James Van Der Beek accepts a part without reading the script just so he can work with child star Kiernan Shipka, but it's a body swap and learning to be a pre-teen girl in his studly body proves extremely hard. He does however learn to appreciate fan adoration again. Chloe makes the most of her yearly income during the annual half week UN general assembly opening. Yet she finds that too exhausting and wants an assistant like James's. To avoid paying one, she takes a foster daughter, Molly, and tricks unsuspecting June to sign up as her lesbian co-guardian. Naively taking on the maternal role, June ruins her own PA employment, without even earning gratitude. Chloe gives June a much-needed lesson in self-confidence, which backfires when her protege steals the spotlight from her, going night-clubbing with James in her place. A showdown takes place at a swanky wedding. When the rent is due and they find themselves short on funds, Chloe and June find themselves in some shady situations to make money. James is initially shocked to learn that a sex tape of him and Chloe is about to be released but, finds himself more startled by its amateur production and tries to persuade Chloe to recreate the private moment in a more professional setting. James stresses over the prestigious larger dressing room when cast alongside Dean Cain, so his assistant Luther's job may be on the line. June is barred from Chloe's nightlife circle because she can't drink on doctor's orders. Brooding at home, she discovers Chloe cares enormously for a cartoon based on her and hopes this information will provide an angle to get her back in the loop. 

season 2 - 
After June uses a power point presentation to persuade James to attend a "Dawson's Creek" reunion show, she finds out that every year Chloe fakes the letters to boost his ego. Chloe tells June about her annual Halloween schemes, and June obsesses over putting a stop to it. Chloe gets a taste of her own medicine, while Mark tries to help James overcome his fear of Halloween. June becomes infatuated with James and is encouraged to have sex with him after Chloe pretends to be the editor for People Magazine, and puts James on the front cover. June can't afford to fly home for Thanksgiving, so Chloe persuades her to come to her parents' home, but June begins to feel uncomfortable and awkward due to her past encounter with Chloe's dad and when Chloe gets June to pretend to be wheelchair bound. Meanwhile, James volunteers at a celebrity soup kitchen in order to get publicity and is unpleasantly surprised when he and Luther actually work. Chloe teaches June to "network", but when Chloe lands herself a hot young broker whose father is a Wall Street mogul, she also lands June a dream job offer. However, when Chloe's beer goggles affect her perception of his appearance, June tries to keep her drunk to keep her job. Meanwhile, James finds himself partnered with the worst dancer on "Dancing with the Stars". James brings June's mom along for support for the season premiere of "Dancing with the Stars". Chloe takes advantage of James's empty penthouse for one of her scams. Chloe takes a dejected James and an anxious June on a trip to the Hamptons, along with Robin and Luther, and tries to crash the party of the year and hook up with the elusive host. However, all does not go to plan. June is nervous and excited about starting her new job. Things go surprisingly well, and she even meets an incredibly nice co-worker, Fox Paris. Chloe warns June though, that she shouldn't be so trusting and that Fox is probably just keeping her enemies close. Meanwhile, Mark looks to James for help in expressing his newfound feelings for June. June and Chloe attend their first tenants' meeting after a new family moves in the building, but they make a scandalous scene and June quickly realizes that she needs to clean up Chloe's act so that they're not branded the "floozies" of the building. Who will win in a battle between the "B" and a group of mean girls? There are a lot of games when it comes to dating, but for James it's literally a game. Chloe is not happy when James is focused on "Dancing with the Stars" training and not her, but just how far will she go to sabotage it for him? June is drugged by Chloe and desperately tries to piece together what transpired during an entire day she lost. June is startled when a man she has never seen before jumps out of a door in the apartment that she has never seen before. June receives her 1-year roommate "evaluation" from Chloe, in which she is shocked to find that she has been given a D. She eventually realizes that the only aspect in her life that could possibly be slacking off is her love life. James invites Chloe and June out to dinner to meet the girl he has been dating, Emily. June discovers that Chloe has been attending Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings to share her crazy partying stories as well as take free booze from the actual alcoholics. Chloe tells June that Benjamin is going to be in town to shoot a commercial with James. She is excited and has even moved him up to #1 in her guy rotation. Chloe hires a private investigator to track down the original bitch in apartment 23, Trish, who Chloe has been seeking revenge on since she stole her dream of becoming a dancer on a popular dance show years ago.
