This was a pilot for a TV series that didn't make it to the series level.

The man in the square suit is a 37-year-old writer who ends up being forced into the position of becoming the main writer for the TEEN BEAT tv show, where everyone else is (comparatively) a child, even the executive producer, all 22 or under.

As the show begins, we see that our hero is someone who hates change. In a gimmick straight out of the old Dick van Dyke, we see him falling over furniture that his wife moved, and plunging his hand into a fish tank that used to be a bowl of peanuts before his wife rearranged his desk.

At the beginning, he doesn't want anything to do with the idea of this new show. He is asked to write up a presentation for the network, but agrees only if he will not be involved with anything else. He does not want to be involved with the week-to-week running of the show.

He suffers Writer's Block, unable to write anything worthwhile, even playing a tape recording of typewriter sounds so he can putt some golf balls in his den. When his wife forces him to write, he starts typing but refuses to show his daughter what he is writing. Before he can prevent it, his wife grabs the paper from the typewriter and reads it to us, all words like ZXVW and other garbage.

Meanwhile, their red head daughter banters on about what is happening in her world. After the wife and daughter leave the room, he continues to try to write, but nothing comes to him, but then we hear the words that his daughter was bantering about, as something that he is hearing in his mind, and he starts writing down her words.

We don't see the actual presentation, but we join them three weeks later at breakfast, where her daughter finds an article on the front page of the paper that says he is writer for a new TV show, Teen Beat. He goes down to the office to tell them that he never agreed to be the writer. The production office is full of young guys and gals all acting like those young dancers on Rowan and Martin's Laugh In. He leaves, thinking he is not the writer. The producer wanted a young writer with experience, not an old fogie with experience.

Later, the young producer shows up at the man's home. Between him and the wife, they convince him (manipulate him) into becoming the writer anyway, admitting that sometimes, you have to accept an older person with experience when there are no younger ones with experience.

During the rest of the show, we see our hero try to fit in at the disco, but wearing himself out, and the wife tries dancing with the produce later at their home to the new beat, but ends up dancing with her husband to some old music.

I saw it as an extra item on the Season Three "My Favorite Martian" DVD set.
