Synopsis

Divorced Alan Thackeray was a single father of daughter Amy and was completely surrounded by women. At home, with good advice on how to raise Amy, was his cheerful and friendly next-door neighbor, Betty Brill.
At Women's Life magazine, the magazine he worked at as a feature writer, he was also surrounded by women. The staff included fellow columnists: serious minded researcher Gretchen ; Susan, a militant feminist; and romantic minded reporter Andrea Gibbons ; and all were supervised by the magazine's hard-to-please and somewhat dominating editor, Elaine Holstein. The only other male at Women's Life, aside from Alan, was the harried accountant, Reggie.
Situations dealing with his homelife and work life, which was completely surrounded by women was the main premise of the series.
In 1986, Simone Griffeth and Herbert Edelman would reunite on The Golden Girls. Edelman played Stanley Zbornak, the troublesome ex-husband of Dorothy Zbornak ; and Griffeth played his younger second wife, Krissy.
