''Big Wave Dave's'' is a short lived 1993 comedy from CBS, running six episodes.
 
The pilot episode opens with three friends, Marshall Fisher (Adam Arkin), Richie Lamonica (Patrick Breen) and Dave Bell (David Morse) sitting in a bar during a [[The Windy City|Chicago]] blizzard. Marshall has just lost his job at a law firm his father started, Dave is divorcing his wife, and Richie is unsatisfied with his life as a typing teacher. Dave has always had the dream of starting a surf shop in Hawaii called Big Wave Dave's, and the whole club starts dreaming about it. Dave suggests to really do it; the rest of the guys are a bit doubtful, but the eventually decide to go in. But than they think about Marshall's wife, and they have to convince her. That same night the three guys go over to Marshall's house to convince Marshall's wife Karen (Jane Kaczmarek). Out of the blue, Karen decides to go along with them.

* [[Never Lend to a Friend]]: Marshall loans Dave the money he needs for his third of the store. They argue about it in a later episode.
* [[Non Indicative Title]]: You'd think that Dave would be the central character of a show called ''Big Wave Dave's''; but no, it's Marshall.
* [[Non -Interactivity]]: Richie gets an audio course on learning how to speak Hawaiian in order to score points (and score) with his girlfriend. The tape gives a phrase to say, pauses for the learner to repeat, then gives some generic supportive words. "Very good!"
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Jack Lord legally changed his name. His birth name was [[Ernest Hemingway]]. "But that's a whole other story."
** Richie's girlfriend only eats bacon. Why this is is never explained but Marshall briefly obsesses over it. "What would cause a person to decide to only eat bacon?"
