This was a show far ahead of its time. Norman Lear was cutting edge and this was even more so. The few episodes there were were always well done well and were most enjoyable. I was 20 and really enjoyed the role reversals.It was an odd time, the 70's and this show was clearly intended for the audience of the day.I particularity enjoyed Gary Sandy as the secretary who was always trying to use his boss to rise above his station.Linda Gray as the transgender woman was fantastic. This was a hard role to play as transgendered people were not thought of in polite terms.The concept of the show was shocking and thought provoking as it made us look at how sexual discrimination affected everyone, not just those being discriminated against. How it affected society in general and the workplace in particular.
... View MoreOne morning the Lord, She woke up to say, "I feel like I want to be creative today". So by virtue of the power I have invested in me I make the heaven, earth and the deep blue sea. "Things that swim, fly, walk by, creep and crawl. "Now I'd better make someone to name it all". Yes, a human was needed in the neighborhood. So the Lord made woman and it was good. "Now the garden of Eden is no place to be alone". So from the rib of the Madam came Adam full grown. As time went by this groom and bride followed the instructions and multiplied. She'd hunt, he'd cook. She'd work, he'd play While she administered the government, he crocheted. She wore the mail, he wore the vale He concubined and walked behind, She was you'll pardon the expression, the mastermind. So is it any wonder why the men complain that from the dawn of time it's been a woman's domain("She wore the mail" refers to medieval chain mail body armor)

Here in Phoenix it stopped airing on Channel 5, but was still showing in other parts of the country. The last episode shown here ended with Bert locking himself in the closet. My husband and I enjoyed this show very much. It was funny and totally before it's time. We would love to see it re-run or re-made into a new series. I am sure they could find some great character actors that would do it justice. I think it would be more appreciated now if they gave it a second chance. We also miss Married With Children and Soap. What can I say, we love the zany shows. There needs to be more like them.
... View MoreI have looked for references to this show for several years but could not remember the title. I finally got and answer from Tvpipeline and am releived to know that I did not imagine this whole plot. Several of the actors were busy in commercials and this was the only show in which I found them. The show, brief as it was, was most interesting and far ahead of its time. I hope someone shows it again!
