How it feels

Each episode follows different vacationers renting a cottage or beach retreat. The regular townspeople appear in the background while the visitors get into odd situations. The show is based on the creator's habit of writing fake guest book entries.

What happens

The Guest Book is an American anthology comedy television series created by Greg Garcia. Season 1 stars Charlie Robinson, Carly Jibson, Lou Wilson, and Kellie Martin, while season 2 stars Jibson, Eddie Steeples, Kimiko Glenn, Jimmy Tatro, and Dan Beirne. The series centers on the lives of the employees of, and visitors to, vacation rental properties: season 1 focuses on the renters of Froggy Cottage in the small mountain town of Mount Trace, while season 2 follows the renters of Barefeet Retreat in the oceanside town of Mabel Beach. The regular cast plays residents in the town(s), while each episode is focused on a different guest star who plays an out-of-town vacationer. Garcia, who based the show on his habit of writing fake guest-book entries while on vacation, wrote all the episodes, and makes brief season-two appearances as street beggar Homeless Jack. The series premiered on TBS on August 3, 2017. On September 13, 2017, TBS renewed it for a second season, which premiered on October 23, 2018. Garcia tweeted on September 12, 2019 that TBS had cancelled the series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
