Charge!

George has left to make the sun rise without his slippers and gets a gigantic electrical shock. He falls senseless to the ground. Whether or not he will be repatriated becomes a pressing question. Monica, the children, the neighbors are beside themselves. What would George have wanted under such circumstances? George meanwhile has met his guardian angel, sent to accompany him through his "transfer" to Heaven. George doesn't want to go! Like a kid who refuses to go to bed, he invariably finds something that he needs to do, stealing those precious extra minutes. Time enough to find a way to get back to life.

Chosen by Krach Industries as director of their new subdevelopment, George Martin is in seventh heaven! A new townhouse, state-of-the-art technology, and a salary, to boot! But Krach Industries has taken him for a cosmic ride! The truth is that the Martins are really just guinea pigs sent off to live on a secret orbital station (SOS!). Yet the Martins are neither rocket scientists nor kamikazes. George is a die-hard optimist and takes his responsibility as leader of the station pretty seriously. But leader of his own pack? His family is quite another story! His wife Monica is looking for an encounter of the third kind&her kind! His son Benjamin is a cosmic superhero fanatic, and his daughter Betty is a manic-depressive. Great topics for cocktail chat between Fax and Goodgrief, their cat and dog philosophers!
