ORDINARY JOE FOLLOWS THREE DIFFERENT STORY LINES OF JOE’S LIFE. MUSIC JOE (RED) IS HIS MOST SUCCESSFUL LIFE, AS HE IS A FAMOUS ROCK STAR FULFILLING HIS DREAM. NURSE JOE (GREEN), IS HIS LIFE LIVING WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILD WORKING AS A NURSE. COP JOE (BLUE), IS HIS LIFE OF ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT WHERE HE LIVES AT HOME WITH HIS MOM AND HE NEVER REALLY TAKES ANY CHANCES. EACH CHARACTER’S WORLD IS DIFFERENT, EACH DESIGNED TO TELL HIS CHARACTER’S STORY AND JUXTAPOSE IT FROM THE OTHERS. IN A SENSE, I DESIGNED THREE SHOWS IN ONE.
