synopsis
Both Cory (Ben Savage) and Shawn (Rider Strong) have taken work-study jobs, but with surprisingly different results. Eternal underachiever Shawn proves to be extremely successful in the public-relations field, while Cory can't seem to get any further than the mailroom (and he can't even hold THAT job down!) Meanwhile, Eric (Will Friedle) dies a thousand deaths when his mom Amy (Betsy Randle) enrolls in his creative-writing class--and promptly begins revealing a whole bunch of scintillating family secrets.
