Title card for DiResta.
Status: Partially Found
DiResta was a short-lived sitcom that aired on UPN from October 1998 to March 1999 for one single season, starring stand-up comedian Johnny DiResta in his first-ever television role. DiResta starred as a transit cop, who puts up with his wife Kate, his rambunctious daughter Anna and his gender-confused son Dakota.[1]
As with many of the sitcoms on the ill-fated UPN channel, DiResta proved to be a failure ratings-wise, even infamously being one of the lowest-rated sitcoms of 1998 ahead of only PAX's lineup.[2] In spite of otherwise lukewarm reviews, DiResta managed to air in its entirety.
Availability
Due to low viewership, chances of home recordings of the show popping up online have proved slim to none. The first episode had been uploaded to YouTube by Panama Mike on May 2nd of 2020, though he claims it was the only episode he had access to. Clues as to what most of the other episodes entailed were found in a video containing split-screen credits for fellow UPN series Dilbert which preceded DiResta on initial broadcasts and showed clips from the episodes. One even had the first few seconds of another episode.
