My sister and I lived together in Florida in 1977 and fell upon this show one night after the news. After that we NEVER missed an episode. If we were out, we rushed home by 11:30 for the show. The best part was how absolutely perfectly it was cast. Poor submissive Bert, the hotty secretary (who knew how to work it), and of course, gorgeous and strong executive women. The subject matter was razor sharp. Then out of nowhere it was gone. At the time, we couldn't figure out how such a good show had died. We kind of thought it was the time slot. It was years later that we found it was intentionally yanked. Such a pity. Please, please get it back. Someone somewhere can figure it out. On DVD at the very least. I really need to see how Bert makes out...really.

I have been trying to find this show in all the "Complete Directory to Prime Time and Network Shows," but failed to find it in there even though I had some of the stars right. I didn't realize it didn't count as a network show. I also tried TV Guide.com's Q & A, but since I couldn't remember the name, all I could do was give my best guest at the actors, and that I remember that the logo was a pink rose. I was thinking either Gary Sandy or David Haskell were in it. Well, they both were. I looked under just about every blonde actress including Lois Nettleton, whom I remembered from "Centenial." This show should be required viewing in grade school. I was 21 when it came on, and it made me realize how wrong were things that I was so indoctrinated with that I didn't even realize it.

I have the greatest memories of this show. I agree that it was way before its time. I was 13 when the show aired. It used to come on in my area just after the 11:00 news. I used to stay up to watch it, although my parents set a 10:00 bedtime for me because I had to catch a 6:30 bus to school each morning. To avoid the obvious "scheduling conflict," I would place a towel at the bottom of my door to keep the television's light from spilling into to the hallway. I also used to tack a huge beach towel over my window each night, just in case my parents happened to have to go out at night! I watched the show on an old 13" television. The front of the set was equipped with a jack for an earpiece (not a headphone set, but a single earpiece!). I swiped my brother's earpiece from his transistor radio and used it to listen to the show. I remember laughing into my pillow so that no one would hear me! It never bothered me once to have to go to these lengths to watch the show. I never even gave it a second thought! The mornings were tough, but I was always sure to get up without having to be told because I didn't want my parents asking why I was so tired. It was a small price to pay!I would LOVE to have the complete set of DVDs for this show! Is there any indication that one will ever released?

What a little wonder this show was!! If you got to see any of it, you are very lucky. So far as I know it has never been shown in any other format than its original one on network TV. I particularly remember Lois Nettleton (a great favorite of mine) and Gary Sandy. Gary as a sexually harassed secretary was funny and pitiful at the same time. I guess it maybe cut too close to home for the network, because it sank with no trace. But, gosh, it was funny.Isn't it unfortunate that it has not had the same exposure as some of the other, far more familiar, Lear products? If someone is sitting on this little jewel, why don't you put it out there for people to see? I have a feeling it would be every bit as funny as it was almost 30 years ago. Maybe more so.
