Synopsis
The premise of the series revolves around a sexist sports journalist named Jack Cody (Anthony Tyler Quinn). After being fired from his job at the Dispatch by his ex-girlfriend Melissa (Lisa Waltz), Jack decides to apply for the job of advice columnist. To hide his true identity, Jack dresses in drag and poses as Sylvia Coco. Jack is rehired and forced to dress as a woman to keep his new job. The series also featured Edward Asner as Mr. Russell, Jamie Renée Smith as Jack's 10-year old daughter Blair, and Willie Garson as Jack's best friend Ronnie. Julie Benz also appeared in a recurring role.
Ask Harriet premiered as a midseason replacement on Sunday, January 4, 1998,[1] and was then moved to its regular timeslot on Thursdays.[2] After airing only five of the thirteen episodes produced, the series was canceled due to low ratings.
