A sitcom striving to be a soap opera: two women become friends before they find out that one of them is the mistress of the other one's husband. Certainly the scene of outright farce when the members of the romantic triangle first come together in one spot, with consequent stumbles over the doorsill and dropped forks and so on, gives good reason to want to strive to be something else. But the convenient death and inconvenient pregnancy are little else than TV-movie-of-the-week hyperbole. Mary Tyler Moore does well enough with the sitcom stuff; not so well with the soap. Christine Lahti does better with both. Ted Danson, Sam Waterston; written and directed by Allan Burns. (1986) — Duncan Shepherd
