Does anybody remember the above show, following the lives of four couples residing in their luxury detached homes located in a Los Angeles cul-de-sac a stone's throw from the beach and beautiful Pacific Ocean?

Opening credits presciently offer what the show sells:glamour and sex all tastefully set against the backdrop of a saxaphone riff,where we find a traditional romance of Darby and Joan couple Karen and Sid Fairgate,Gary offering Valene a kiss on the settee, Constance McCashin seductively unbuttoning John Pleshette's red pyjamas, and a young couple whose names escape me peering enquiringly out of a window clad in bathrobes.

So far in the series Karen Fairgate, whom Joan Rivers labelled the show's First Lady has turned down a proposition from her daughter's boyfriend, her neighbour Laura Sumner was raped by a man she picked up at a bar, Lucy the Poison Dwarf of Dallas appeared and vowed to stay with parents Gary and Valene(but appears to have disappeared in tonight's episode) and now I'm mid-way through a group of Hell's Angels terrifying sunbathers, giving suburban housewife Michele Lee the opportunity to flaunt her tight, honed physique.

It's all redolent of a time when a man did a fair day's work for a fair day's pay and returned home to find his cookie cutter wife clad in a pinny preparing dinner for the family, who would sit round the dining table and actually talk to one another. The programme requires no intellectual effort after a hard day's work, the actors are intentionally pleasing on the eye..in fact it's so bad it's good. https://youtu.be/edzaiysEE_I
