The American Girls: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

The adventures of two roving journalists, Becky, a sophisticated blonde, and Amy, a guileless brunette, who go wherever their producer, Casey, sends them. They travel by van, while Casey sits anxiously next to a telephone in New York wondering what kind of hot scoops—and hot water—his American girls will fall into this time. The ladies work for a New York City-based TV newsmagazine.
