Those viewers should be delighted by Kate and Allie. The show, starring Jane Curtin of Saturday Night Live and Susan Saint James (McMillan and Wife; The Name of the Game), is a witty reinterpretation of The Odd Couple, plus three children.

...they have succeeded against considerable odds in transforming an amiable Balkan backwater into a cred ible third-rank winter resort. This is a lot higher up in the rankings than any visitor to the grim and snowless 1980 Olympics would place Lake Placid, N.Y. (First-rank resorts like Saint-Moritz or Sun Valley generally don't want the Olympics these days. Why disrupt an already profitable business...
