Like such hits as All in the Family and Sanford and Son, the new show, Lotsa Luck, has been adapted from an English series. The Girl with Something Extra is billed as a romantic comedy series about a young bride who has one funny problem -she can read people's minds. The woman with something extra will be Sally Field, who a few seasons...
