Margaret Colin (https://ew.com/article/1992/05/01/close-margaret-colin/) is a fine actress. You’ve seen her on many things (https://www.upi.com/Archives/1985/12/02/TV-WORLDNEWLNSoap-star-takes-up-the-law-in-prime-time/7165502347600/) I’m sure. Recently you've seen her in THE GOOD WIFE, NURSE JACKIE, and GOSSIP GIRL. She’s been in INDEPENDENCE DAY, THREE MEN AND A BABY, and SOMETHING WILD among other features. In the late 80s and early 90s she was very hot in television. She starred (https://kwebtv.tumblr.com/post/44782241723/foley-square-cbs-12111985-481986-sitcom) in such series as FOLEY SQUARE (https://jacksonupperco.com/2017/02/15/before-murphy-brown-a-look-at-foley-square/), LEG WORK (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031134349/http://www.jumptheshark.com/f/foleysquare.htm), SIBS, and CHICAGO HOPE.
Her first series was FOLEY SQUARE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foley_Square_(TV_series)), a comedy that aired on CBS (https://www.upi.com/Archives/1985/12/02/TV-WORLDNEWLNSoap-star-takes-up-the-law-in-prime-time/7165502347600/) in 1985 right after (https://apnews.com/article/c1853260d30a31a101f049b82143edb3) THE MARY SHOW (https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1985-12-08-8502250699-story.html), which was our series (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1985-12-14-ca-522-story.html) (and could have easily been entitled FOLLY SQUARE). Neither show fared well and by early ’86 (https://books.google.com/books?id=kAKPw1POOXsC&pg=PA94&lpg=PA94&dq=foley+square+cbs+1985&source=bl&ots=VlYrDw1cvE&sig=ACfU3U3N46NvcfocpMa60fbisyp5ejfqxA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjR1b7rhaD4AhUbmWoFHWVqADI4KBDoAXoECBQQAw#v=onepage&q=foley%20square%20cbs%201985&f=false) they were both cancelled (https://books.google.com/books?id=7OHIDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA46&lpg=PA46&dq=foley+square+cbs+1985&source=bl&ots=G09apuZz_y&sig=ACfU3U3NGLzBny4NVMI_xT4XYEdx23txPg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjR1b7rhaD4AhUbmWoFHWVqADI4KBDoAXoECBMQAw#v=onepage&q=foley%20square%20cbs%201985&f=false).
Flash forward a few months. I’m on vacation at the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara. Hanging out at the pool. And I see Margaret Colin. Actually, every guy saw Margaret Colin. (Back in those days we were still allowed to look.)
At one point we’re both in the pool. I swim up to her and with a panache that the Fonz himself would approve of, say, “Hi there. Y’know, you and I have something in common.” She rolls her eyes. Another schmuck. “What?” she asks warily.
I said, “You and I both killed Wednesday (https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1985/12/18/the-tv-column/abfd3932-11fe-4415-a3f5-e4588bfceb81/) night for CBS”.
She was not expecting that. She laughed, I explained who I was and we had a nice chat bitching about the network.
