It was on for one season but it was good. |

This show must not have pulled in big enough ratings though it was sandwiched between Rhoda and All in the Family when it aired on CBS. I do remember the network gave it a lot of publicity and it was featured on all the local TV Guides, etc. |

Character actress Gretchen Wyler was on this show as well. |

It was low-key and intelligent, and in a great time slot. I was in high school at the time and loved it, while one of my best friends hated it and thought it was boring. I guess more people thought as he did than as I did about the show! I have no idea what I would think about it if I saw it now. |
