Diary's hapless heroine is Tina Balser (Carrie Snodgress) who has a set of hang-ups that might shock Mary Worth. Jonathan, her lawyer husband (Richard Benjamin), is an Ivy League cretin who announces to their children at the breakfast table: "Your mother made Phi Beta Kappa at Smith, but I don't think she can make a four-minute egg." This sort of thing is hardly conducive to connubial bliss, so Tina tends to get turned off when Jonathan yearns for a "little old roll in de hay." She begins a passionate "sex thing" with a surly...
...with most such projects, CNS has financial worries. Revenues currently run about $10,000 a month v. $28,000 in expenditures, and the Ford grant expires next summer.
