Okay, brief (?) summary of Three Guys and California Girls:

 

Violet Parr, freshly graduated from high school, arrives at UCLA for her freshman year of college. At orientation she meets Gwen and the immediately hit become besties. Gwen introduces Violet to Peter, who is her distant cousin or some such thing. Violet finds him cute and smart, but hesitates to show her feelings because she's still getting over having to break up with Tony Rydinger when she left for college. 

 

Violet meets her roommate Rachel, who seems profoundly disinterested at her presence. The fact is that Rachel doesn't want to be at UCLA; she wants to be literally anywhere else, because her overbearing father (Trigon) is one of the Academic Vice Presidents in charge of the Honors program and scholarships. Violet tries not to take it personally but can't.

 

The girls meet two additional guys: Gar, the goofy kid across the hall, and Manuel, his handsome, suave, and entirely too self-important roommate. Both seem unusually interested in Rachel, although Violet secretly wonders if Manuel is just flirting with her to mess with Gar. For her part, Rachel isn't having it from either of them.

 

The first day of class arrives, and the lot find that they're all in the same class, an American History class taught by Professor Emma Frost. She presents herself as a complete hard-ass, but seems to have a soft sport for Manuel, for reasons no one (including himself) is quite sure about. It's in this class that they meet Tara, who takes an immediate liking to Gar. Gar, who has never had this kind of interest from a girl, isn't quite sure what to do. Manuel graciously offers to help him.

 

As the first round of midterms approaches, the seven friends (or the six friends and Rachel, or the six friends and Manuel, depending) find themselves under more stress than ever. Manuel has been making his attention to Rachel very publicly known...although he seems to harbor a kind of (entirely unreciprocated) fondness for Gwen as well. Arguments ensue, names are called, and purely out of spite, Rachel plants a big, wet kiss on Gar. Manuel's outrage at this rejection is almost believable.

 

The truth is finally revealed: Manuel and Violet are up for the same Honors Internship for their sophomore year...and Trigon is in charge of making the decision who will get it. Emma has been whispering in Manuel's ear to cozy up to Rachel in hope of getting the inside track. Little does Emma realize that Rachel and her father are on the outs in a serious way. In the course of one of his meetings with Emma, Manual catches something she says and realizes who she really is. He confronts her, and she admits that she is his real mother.

 

Things get weird from there.

 

Violet overhears this revelation and nearly faints from the shock. Hoping that neither Manuel nor Professor Frost knows that she knows, she returns home and spills the beans to Gwen and Rachel. Violet has a minor freak-out, and Gwen calls uncle Lucius to come for a visit. He comes into town to spend an evening with her to help her figure things out. In time, she gets things worked out and eventually earns the Internship. Manuel is initially upset, but when he discovered how much more furious Professor Frost is, he decides that maybe he's been taking everything too seriously. He chills out...a lot. Meanwhile, Emma schemes and plots for the friends' sophomore years.

 

By the end of the first season Violet is dating Peter, Rachel is dating Gar, Tara is trying to steal Gar from Rachel, Gwen has decided that dating isn't in her best interest right now, and Manuel is slowly learning how to be a functional human being. 

 

What does Season Two hold?

Reposting my reasons for picks (And very little fic) for Quantum Acres...

 

"Are we sure realty hasn't been disrupted somehow?" The blond man was tall, but he'd been taller - much taller. Of course, he'd also been much shorter.
 
The woman with him patted his arm, "I'm scanned the time lines repeatedly and used my own analytical intellect and found nothing odd. See, this is why the therapist thought you needed a Fresh start, some place with Fresh Air, and that's just why we're here."

"Right, I need to cut down on the science for a bit," Her husband smiled, "And I guess it won't get more science free than a farm"

"In a quaint small town no less," his wife, smiled too and artificial though the material the teeth were made of, the expression was genuine.

"Yeah, "  He breathed in that fresh air, "I can feel the stress leaving me already, I love you, Brainiac Pym"
"And I love you," She nuzzled, "Farmer Pym"
*****
"There goes our daughter, " Indigo beamed as their little girl flew around.

 

"Think we put a bit too much saccharine compound in when we made her?" Henry wondered.

"At least she likes the local animals"
********
Having lost Latveria, Doom now rules over Doom Farms and Gardens! His is the superior agricultural technique! His corn more ominous! His squash more ingenious! Pym is indeed a mere ant indeed compared to him in science, AND Farming!

********
Harry somehow always ends up coming over, borrowing things, having beers in the Pym living room, and making inappropriate jokes about Indigo . He THINKS he's a friend to Henry, but Pym is this close to shrinking the guy down to the microverse or something. Doesn't help that Bubbles calls him "Uncle Harry!"
********
Ted is actually Pym's best friend in this part of the country, even if he eggs Hank on to get back at Doom now and then with "more better science" he still looks after both Hank and his family. Hank is often straight man to him but he's looking out for him. Ted is also a bit of a sad sack with a smile who laments he just cannot find Mrs Right. He strikes out with more women, and only half jokingly asks Indigo if she has a sister
*********
Hated by those she would protect? Not THIS Storm! Among rural America, a lady who can bring the rain or stop the flooding may not be a goddess but she's close! A celebrity at the very least!  She comes to town  and everyone wants her autograph, the local farm girls take fashion tips! And someone tries to hook Ted up with her which never ever goes well
********
The Secret: Tired of Indigo's failed attempts at matchmaking for Ted, yet still feeling sorry for his friend, Hank has something of a mental fugue when Muscleman gets him drunk and Henry tries to SOLVE the problem.. with SCIENCE! Muscleman pushes a few wrong buttons.. and in the morning both wake up with black outs! Unsure exactly how they ended up with sexy various female clones and android women ready to awaken. Naturally, Doom, if he discovers this , will try to 'out do' Pym by creating his own! Hank must hide this from his wife lest he thinks this is some attempt at having a harem on the side!

******
Dexter, from Dexter's Laboratory! While Free of Dee Dee, in this show Dexter still has his  trials. As Victor Von Doom's ward and apprentice, he longs to get off the farm by pleasing his Guardian with some amazing breath through! Unfortunately for him, he has gotten on the bad side of the skrull cows, and Bubbles keeps trying to make friends with him, which often results in ruining his plans! Often, Bubbles and Dexter nearly destroy the country side yet adults don't seem to notice!
