Harry is an Uber driver. He loves his life, he loves his job, and he loves his passengers: so much, that he wants every one of them to be his next best friend.

Unfortunately, Harry doesn’t understand social cues all that well. In fact, he has a tendency to say all the things that other people never would. But, that doesn’t stop him from shoving his two cents into every conversation, whether it’s giving marriage advice to a nervous bride-to-be, weighing in on a private family argument, or explaining to a little boy why nobody likes him.

Harry just wants to help.

Everything Harry knows about life, he has learned from TV, movies, and his Dad. That’s why Harry starts each day with a phone call to his Dad, for encouragement and words of wisdom. Harry’s Dad is the best Dad in the world, and he supports him unconditionally, giving him advice about being kind, making friends, and Harry’s favourite subject: being a Dad. Which is weird, because Harry isn’t a Dad. Harry isn’t married. Harry doesn’t even have a girlfriend. Yet.

Harry is in love with Wendy, the best girl in the world. She serves Harry ice-cream at his favourite drive-through restaurant. And Harry is convinced that he and Wendy are going to spend the rest of their lives together. That’s if he can ever find the nerve to ask her out.

Unfortunately for Harry, life doesn’t work the way he thinks it should. In fact, everything turns out the opposite to what Harry expects. But that doesn’t stop Harry from trying his best to turn his passengers into his best friends, and Wendy into his girlfriend.

Goober is a light-hearted comedy series about a man who sees the best in every situation, despite what everyone else sees. It demonstrates that first impressions don’t always tell the whole story: Harry seems unusual due to the way his autism shapes his interactions, but, more often than not, his candor and naivety expose the hypocrisy of the “everyday” people around him.

While Harry lands himself in one awkward situation after another, he also tries to elevate his relationship with Wendy from acquaintanceship to romance—without blurting out that all he wants in life is to marry her… and have six children… and buy a house in the country together… and a dog.

Dad does his best to offer advice, but what advice can the divorced single father of an oddball son give? According to Harry: the best advice in the world.
