About Welcome to the Captain
The lives of a wildly eclectic group of people are intertwined through the place they all call home, a fabled Hollywood apartment building, El Capitan, which they've dubbed "The Captain." Josh, is a Hollywood whiz kid whose filmmaking career has hit a wall. Just when Josh is about to move back to New York, his accountant-to-the-stars best friend, Marty, convinces him to move into his legendary apartment building.
Directed by John Hamburg, Welcome to the Captain leans on a strong ensemble — Fran Kranz, Chris Klein, JoAnna Garcia Swisher — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2008.
