Woops!

Synopsis

Characters

• Mark Braddock, formerly a schoolteacher, and the narrator of the show by writing in his journal. The pilot episode focuses on Mark, showing him finishing his classes and making a deposit at a drive up window at the bank when a flash of light occurs, and everything is turned to ruins except for Mark and his automobile, which was a Volvo.
• Jack Connors, formerly a homeless man and a great practical joker. Jack revealed he survived the nuclear war because he was sleeping under an expressway overpass, whose structure protected him. Jack considered his finding the farm advantageous, as he is no longer homeless.
• Alice McConnell. Her character was a progressive feminist stereotype. She reveals she worked in an old bookstore which had been built in the 1960s and equipped with a fallout shelter which was converted into the basement. She ran out of register tape and went to the basement to get a fresh roll, thus being spared when the attack occurred.
• Frederick Ross, formerly a research biologist. His excellent knowledge of science is vital to the survival of the community. Although he considered it ironic that he was possibly the only black man to have survived the nuclear war and occasionally mused over the possible loss of a black female companion, he genuinely enjoyed his white friends and living on the farm.
• Suzanne Skillman, a hair salon employee, a dumb blonde stereotype, although it was clear her hair color was brunette.
• Curtis Thorpe, formerly an aggressive venture capitalist. He finds adjusting to farm life difficult as most of the business skills he had before are not needed on the farm, although he was surprisingly athletic, having played track & field at Harvard.
