Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This aired two months before 'The Cosby Show' premiered, marking the last gasp of gritty made-for-TV movies before family sitcoms dominated.

Trivia

Director Harry Winer later pivoted to children's television, creating 'The Adventures of Pete & Pete'—quite the tonal journey from smoky singles bars.
