 Jesse is an American Sitcom that aired on NBC for two seasons between 1998 and 2000. Christina Applegate plays the title character, a single mother of a nine-year old who works at a Bavarian-themed bar owned by her father. Other characters include her brothers Darren and John, Jr., her best friends and fellow waitresses Linda and Carrie, and her new next-door neighbor Diego, a Chilean immigrant whom Jesse instantly feels a connection with.This show was Applegate's first major project after the cancellation of Married... with Children. While somewhat neurotic, the character of Jesse was also a smart and responsible woman, and thus in many ways the exact opposite of Dumb Blonde Kelly Bundy (which is what drew Applegate to the project in first place). The show not only came from the producers of Friends, but also aired in the highly-coveted timeslot right after it. Unable to fulfill the extremely high ratings expectations for NBC's "Must See TV", the series underwent a Retool for its second season: Jesse got a new job as a nurse, her family (aside from her son) vanished without explanation, and everything became even more Friends-esque. These changes didn't help turn the show into a hit, and it ended up being Cut Short with an unresolved Cliffhanger.

 Citizenship Marriage: When Diego faces deportation, he asks Jesse to marry him, but she can't bring herself to agree. Eventually she changes her mind, only to find out Linda has already married him. As the show was cancelled after this episode, the situation was left unresolved.
