what's your problem? It just happens to star Rita Moreno, the Tony Award winning actress who has appeared on the Broadway stage in many productions from 'Last Of The Red Hot Lovers' to the female version of 'The Odd Couple'. She won the Tony for the 1975 Broadway production of 'The Ritz' Idiot! Not interested then just ignore it!!!

The full 82 episodes never made to U.K T.V, just the first two series! Jean Marsh who created and starred in the TV mega-series 'Upstairs, Downstairs' in the 70s with Eileen Atkins, played Roz in the series.

They've never been put on DVD or VHS but maybe they'll get dug up next year when interest in the show and movie heat up! I remember the few I saw on TV as being not be that funny.

I used to love It's a Living... It was so much fun. Ann Jillian was in it.
They should start a cable channel of all the old sitcoms-- just the sitcoms. I think it would be a hoot.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
I've read about this before. It had an interesting run, as it first was on ABC and then reappeared in syndication years after it was canceled. I saw the opening credit video of it sometime ago, though I can't recall what site it was on.
Jean Marsh last appeared on the West End stage as Bertha in revival of 'Boeing Boeing' that is now a smash hit on Broadway. She's a popular actress and who knows maybe she 'll be on Broadway in that very same role!
