    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.

    Best sitcom ever. As a young newlywed male with first child on the way it made me understand sexual harassment in a different way.The show was humorous but very enlightening. Way ahead of its time, wish it would come back, maybe it would help break the glass ceiling for woman. The show dealt with both verbal and physical sexual harassment before we heard of being politically correct. All That Glitters was aired late night which may have been its demise. It would be the talk of the shop for us on the midnight crew. The slapping on the butt of the male secretaries by the female executives was over the top in the 70's. This would be followed by the male secretaries pushing back the sexual advances and invitations by the female executives in fear of retribution by them.

    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?
