Has anyone ever seen the short lived Bill Bixby sitcom, Goodnight Beantown? It ran for 16 episodes in 1983-1984, and was like MTM I heard. Does anyone know where I might be able to obtain episodes?

Can't answer the "where can I get it" question, but I do remember the show. Marianne Hartley was in it, too, and it was part of NBC's Cheers/St. Elsewhere Thursday night "All Boston" line-up.

Was like MTM in that it centred around the staff of a local TV news outfit. Was unlike MTM in that it wasn't particularly funny (tho' Hartley was charming, as always).
