There's... Johnny! is a coming-of-age comedy-drama set in the early 1970s that follows the story of a young Nebraska man named Andy Klavin (David Hoffman) who lands his dream job as a production assistant on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in Burbank, California. Andy leaves his traditional family home and small, Midwest town to start his new life in Los Angeles, where he immerses himself in the fast-paced, glamorous world of late night TV.

The show is a unique blend of fictional narrative, historical footage, and real-life celebrity guest appearances, and takes place during a time of great social and cultural change in America. The series explores the tensions between the old world values of Andy's family and the new world of the entertainment industry, as well as the shifting landscape of gender and race relations in the era of Nixon, Vietnam, and Watergate.

Throughout the series, Andy struggles to balance his personal and professional life, navigating the demanding and often chaotic environment of the show while also trying to find love and establish a sense of identity in a new and unfamiliar place. Along the way, he forms relationships with a colorful cast of characters, including his co-worker and romantic interest Joy (Jane Levy), and the head writer of the show, Freddie de Cordova (Tony Danza).

There's... Johnny! captures the spirit of the 1970s with its attention to detail, from the show's retro set design and fashion choices, to the musical soundtrack featuring classic rock and soul hits of the era. The show also incorporates real footage of historical events, such as President Nixon's resignation speech, which serves as a backdrop to the characters' personal lives and struggles.

While the show's setting and subject matter are certainly unique, at its core, There's... Johnny! is a heartfelt and relatable story about a young man finding his way in the world. Andy's journey is one that will resonate with anyone who has ever left home to pursue their dreams and faced challenges along the way.

Overall, There's... Johnny! is an entertaining and engaging series that will appeal to fans of both comedy and drama. The talented cast, nostalgic setting, and blend of fiction and reality make it a must-watch for anyone interested in the behind-the-scenes world of television, or for anyone looking for a charming and thoughtful coming-of-age story.
