Thoughts: This vehicle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_Life_(TV_series)) for Martin Mull (https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Domestic+Life%22+Martin+Mull&tbm=bks&tbs=bkt:s&source=newspapers), cooked up by Mull with Steve Martin and led by scribes from Taxi, puts its star in an MTM-esque work/home dual structure that is best remembered for its similarities to Frasier. Not only is Mull’s character named Martin Crane, he also lives in Seattle and is a professional broadcaster dispensing advice. All coincidences, yes, but the familiar MTM design is indeed something they genuinely share, with a media-set workplace that’s another convention of this subgenre and its lineage.
