), drummer Tony Wicks (William James Jones), and the band's teen manager, Sylvester "Sly" Winkle (Michael Cade) – all three of which were the only characters who appeared on the show throughout its entire five-season run. The show's primary settings were the Garrison home, the fast food restaurant Sharkey's, and Pacific Coast High School.
Beginning with the pilot, entitled "The First Gig," Season 1 featured cut-away music videos for the songs "California Dreams," "Rain," "Everybody's Got Someone," and "This Time." This narrative style was not continued in future seasons, as songs were typically performed at Sharkey's or the band's rehearsal space. The songs performed on the show are abbreviated versions cut for time, usually excluding the song's second verse.
Season 2
Because NBC executives did not like the show's original format, Engel, Dewey, and Solomon refocused the show's plotline from balancing stories involving both the band and the Garrison family, to just the teens who formed the California Dreams band for its second season. Cutt was downgraded to a recurring cast member, O'Neill was written out entirely before the season began, and Lenhart and Ramsey were both written out after the season's third episode "Ciao, Jenny", with Lenhart's character Jenny being the first main character to leave the show (the character lands a spot at a

The sitcom's original premise was dropped completely when Matt was written out of the show (in the third-season premiere "The Unforgiven", it is briefly referenced that the Garrison family had moved away). In Matt's place, the band hired Mark Winkle (Aaron Jackson), Sly's shy cousin from

Jake took over as leader and main songwriter of the band from Matt. Songs from seasons 1–2 that were performed again in seasons 3–5 featured Matt's vocals replaced by either Jake or Mark.

When a music producer offers Jake a record contract, he initially refuses, since the rest of the band was not given one as well. Jake is able to negotiate a record contract for the entire band, which they refuse. Tiffani convinces Jake that she and the other band members have moved past the Dreams and want to discover new things, convincing Jake to take the solo offer. Long-time couples Tiffani and Jake, and Sam and Tony break up due to their different paths. The episode ends with the California Dreams playing their final gig, before giving their tearful goodbyes to one another. Their last song, "So Glad I Was There," was the only original song written for the show's fifth and final season. It was also the only song the band performed on the show that featured vocals from all 5 members.

as Jenny Garrison (1992–1993) – Matt's younger sister, who served as the original rhythm keyboardist of the group. Jenny is the more assertive, feminist presence in the band compared to Tiffani, who is more passive. Jenny often turns down the advances of Sly, who pursues her for the entirety of her time in the series. She departed from the series in the season two episode "Ciao, Jenny" to attend a musical conservatory in Italy; Jenny had initially served as Jake's love interest upon his introduction in "Jake's Song."

as Tiffani Anne Smith – The band's bass player, whose primary hobby outside the band is surfing. Many episodes depict Tiffani, while having a childlike, innocent personality, as a stabilizing force for the group, often seeing the good in people and being more understanding of others' faults. She has an on-again/off-again relationship with Jake during the series, first for most of season two (beginning with "Surfboards and Cycles" and ending with their breakup in "Indecent Promposal") and again starting in season four (in "Two Two Much") until the end of the series. Tiffani lives with her single father, after her mother left the family to pursue a career on

South Central neighborhood. Tony is a waiter at Sharkey's, the band's frequent hangout and performance space. He is the son of the football coach at Pacific Coast High. Tony's personality is characterized with long winded insults and compliments, which are often rhyming or alliterative. When Tony is featured as a vocalist, he uses a
drum machine to substitute. After the two are haphazardly set up on a date by an online chat room in "Blind Dates", Sam and Tony become a couple and stay together for much of the remainder of the show's run. Sam and Tony briefly become engaged in the episode "My Valentine," in an attempt to gain citizenship for Sam, but they later decide not to get married. Tony and Sly share the catch phrase "Goo-ga-moo" which is used in various grammatical forms to describe beautiful women.

Sly and Matt Garrison were friends since early childhood, establishing Sly's relationship to the group. Many episodes involve Sly's attempts to get girls, having attempted to win the affections of Jenny (in season one), Sam (in season two) Lorena (from season three onward), and other guest characters through manipulative means. While Sly and his cousin Mark often joke about the Winkle family as consisting of liars and other unscrupulous characters, Sly has a very strained and distant relationship with his father.

When first introduced in the season two premiere "Jake's Song", he is depicted as tough and intimidating, although that episode and a few others reveal that he has a sensitive soul. Jake is in a relationship with another character for nearly the entirety of his run on the show, dating Jenny (Season 2), Tiffani (Season 2), Lorena (Seasons 3-4), and Tiffani again (Seasons 4-5).

Given that he is a musical prodigy, Mark plays every instrument in the band throughout the series, filling in when other members are featured as vocalists. Mark is the only main character in Seasons 3-5 who is not placed in a relationship with another series regular. Many of his storylines revolve around his unrequited love for other girls.

Lorena is often the source of financial support for the group, given her wealth, and eventually becomes the group's co-manager. Beginning with season three's "Budget Cuts", she becomes the girlfriend of Jake. The relationship lasts until season four's "Two Too Much" due to their inability to find anything in common.
