@edgarblythe,
I remember a show that even I don't remember. I like sharp writing. Well, so do a lot of people, but I used to follow, somewhat, script writing. There was a show that probably was on in the late seventies or early eighties, when I was crazy busy.
I'm not sure if it was a pilot or a 13-seg series, but I only saw a little of it. The subject was marriage. Well, this is old hat, except the show was very sharp. I can't remember the show name, nor the writer. Gaaaa. The show didn't last, with some of the best writing I'd ever heard.
So, I'll call it the marriage show.
Not the same writer, but -
Anyone else follow Frederic Raphael? He wrote Two for the Road, but also Glittering Prizes, a brit show I loved and no one else has ever heard of.
