The Mullets is an Americansitcom created byBill Oakley andJosh Weinstein. Starring Michael Weaver,David Hornsby,Loni Anderson andJohn O'Hurley, it aired onUPN from September 11, 2003, to March 17, 2004.
The Mullets are blue-collar, wrestling-loving, light-hearted, optimistic brothers who donthe hairstyle that bears their surname ("business in the front, party in the back"). The brothers work asroofers, sport identical mullet haircuts, and have different personalities; Dwayne Mullet (Michael Weaver) has a loud, in-your-face demeanor, while Denny Mullet (David Hornsby) is a quieter, more thoughtful, easygoing guy. The brothers live life to the fullest while dreaming of bigger and better futures, though their fantasies are out of step with their reality.
Their mother, Mandi Mullet-Heidecker (Loni Anderson), is a warm, maternal type who couldn't be more proud of her offspring, no matter what they do. She's recently married to Roger Heidecker (John O'Hurley), a clean-cut game show host who is the polar opposite of her boys and her former life.
Eleven episodes were made, but only eight were broadcast.
