If it was say, more mainstreamed and less intelligent with all due respect. The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Days_and_Nights_of_Molly_Dodd) was a ratings flop for NBC (https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-news/molly-dodd-proves-that-even-career-girls-get-the-blues-99207/) but a critics darling (https://books.google.com/books?id=mZZdAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA91&lpg=PA91&dq=molly+dodd+caroline+in+the+city&source=bl&ots=tYRS_3ShFz&sig=ACfU3U3WaYFA7AIMx9HH3-nXJ_L-Yc00Tw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiC5P_H55f1AhVhtjEKHfWLC_EQ6AF6BAgmEAM#v=onepage&q=molly%20dodd%20caroline%20in%20the%20city&f=false) that had a devoted following. Malcolm Gets' character on Caroline in the City (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/CarolineInTheCity) you could say was like David Strathairn's character in Molly Dodd (https://wondersinthedark.wordpress.com/2018/03/13/169-the-days-and-nights-of-molly-dodd/).
