Storyline
The story involves three married couples in a New York City apartment building. Nick and Olivia Williams are a 60ish couple who owned the building and lease out the top two floors. Russell and Elizabeth Meyers live on the second floor in a non-traditional marriage (he is a writer who works at home; she is a high-powered lawyer); and Allen and Cindy Campbell on the third floor (he is a college student and she works as a waitress to put him through school).

Add Synopsis
This was actually quite a good show and I do recall it fairly well considering it was over 15 years ago now. Bess Armstrong was solid in her role as the Matriarch of this family. I do echo the previous poster's comments about Jay Thomas. Jay is a past Emmy award winner and a very fine comedic and dramatic actor. He would be considerably older now and likely enjoying a life of retirement in relative obscurity. I'd be interested if anyone has seen any recent work and perhaps they can wheel Jay out for a curtain call of sorts. One final swan song as it were before he rides out his final years. A tremendous actor he was. I'm not familiar with the other cast members as they were less well known. It just goes to show that sometimes a fine show will not get the run it deserves in order to develop a following. With the expanded television universe, at least some good shows like this are getting a shot on cable channels such as Fox, FX or the WB where they can take more time to develop a following.
