Synopsis

Grant stars as Fay Stewart, a divorced woman in her 40s who after 25 years of marriage to attorney Jack Stewart starts a new job and begins dating.

The show first aired on September 4, 1975 and was pulled after the October 23 airing. It returned for 2 more episodes on May 12 and June 2, 1976. 10 episodes were produced. Four of them ("Jack Remarries", "Mr. Wonderful", "Danny Falls In Love", and "Not Another Mother's Day") were eventually re-edited into an overseas theatrical feature, Man Trouble, later included in a syndicated package of other MCA/Universal "movies" stitched together from their various short-lived TV series.

Grant was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series after the series was cancelled.
