Jesse is an American sitcom which ran on NBC from September 1998 to May 2000. The show was created by Ira Ungerleider. It aired on Trouble in the UK. The show stars Christina Applegate as single mother Jesse Warner, raising her nine-year-old son in Buffalo, New York. She works for her father in a German-themed bar, serving beer while wearing a dirndl. Jesse's love interest, a Chilean named Diego , gains a rival when her ex-husband comes to town, intent on winning her back. In the second season, Jesse becomes a nurse, and stories revolve around her friends instead of her family. While Jesse... was in the top 20 in the Nielsen ratings regularly, the show lost much ground to Friends, its powerful lead-in. As a result, NBC decided to cancel the show after its second season. A total of 42 episodes were produced.
