Spun off from his one man show, Steven bank: Home Entertainment Center, is this one season fun series. Again, Steven has regular goals including work, home and relationships and again, his goals are impeded by his own penchant for distraction. Steven is as talented as ever, but with this series he is joined by Teresa Parente and Michael Kostroff, both of which play multiple characters with amazing dexterity and skill. In the end, the show is a fun excuse to work together Steven's imitations and songs, of which he has even crafted an album! Banks! Banks! Banks!
