This is another of the shows that I remembered enjoying as a kid, yet it was so long ago I couldn't remember the episodes or exactly why I liked it.
Then a few years ago American Life TV ran it for a while, and my wife and I viewed it religiously during the time it aired.
We enjoyed it every bit as much, actually more, than most current TV shows. The stories were crisp and made sense. The characters were personable, and the acting quite competent.
It made me wish that Roger Smith had not retired his own acting career to act as agent for his wife, Ann Margret.
If you see the series, watch for the episode written and directed by Roger Smith that has no dialog for the entire hour. So often he is 'about' to finally speak, keeping you on the edge of your chair with anticipation, then something happens that distracts him. LOL Brilliant and courageous episode for TV in ANY era.
