Thanks for this. I love Stockard Channing, and I've never seen this series. 🌹 Her acting elevates the show above the writing.

Love the chemistry with Stockard and Ron Silver. Smart Script too.

Stockard Channing is totally funny. It's unfortunate that her show was short-lived

[@timhoovermusicman]

I vaguely remember her having a show

She had a couple of sitcoms with her name on it. Before this in 1979 there was "Stockard Channing in Just Friends". I uploaded all of her 1980 series -- this one on my old You Tube channel.

Omg, so witty! I love it!

fascinating how forward thinking the script it. It made a joke about healthy eating with the salad, bread, and water which was a joke back then but common place now. Even had a cultural joke that is relevant now about equal op emp. Kind of shocked.
