Maxine Stuart, Whats in a name? Everything for Wyatt Earp III, great grandson of the infamous OK Corral lawman gunslinger dude. He didn't much care for his, which made him the laughing stock of everyone he'd meet when they asked what to call him. It especially didn't endear him to cops, who all thought he was being a wiseass until he showed them his ID. Wyatt was straight as an arrow and tough as a tank, while his brother Evan was the polar opposite - a hipster doofus with a penchant for con artistry and bungled repair work. If Evan had a motto, it would be "If it aint broke, fix it until it is." Their mother, Amanda, bought into the Earp legend hook, line and sinker. A Granny Moses type, she sought to carry on the family tradition with her trusty shotgun. And, for on old bag-cum-wannabe bounty hunter, she could certainly shoot with the best of them...even if she didn't necessarily hit her target. No matter how much Wyatt wanted to distance himself from his legacy, his job as the bouncer and right hand man of the Sladetown Carnival made sure trouble followed him wherever he went. Wyatt's boss and Sladetown's owner, the heavy set "Cactus" Jack Slade, was always on Wyatt's tail to make sure the customers kept the peace and didn't heckle the attractions. Keeping it all in the family, Slade's pretty daughter, Ellen, Sladetown's traveling tutor slash lion tamer, also happened to be dating Wyatt. Meanwhile, his teenage son, Michael, had to cope with Erap Family eccentricities and his lack of a normal kid's life, as well as the fact that his father and his teacher were an item.
