WTD 1973 sitcom BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE

[Smilings]

I’d love to trade for this. Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (TV series not the movie)

Does anyone have this?

Earliest sitcom writing credit for David Lloyd, writer of MTM Chuckles Bites the Dust.

Early sitcom for the late but always great Robert Urich.

Robert Urich as Bob Sanders
Anne Archer as Carol Sanders
David Spielberg as Ted Henderson
Anita Gillette as Alice Henderson
Brad Savage as Sean Sanders
Jodie Foster as Elizabeth Henderson
Yes 10 year old Jodie Foster was the daughter!

It lasted a few weeks on ABC's Wednesday night schedule at 8pm(et) in the fall of '73 but was crushed by Sonny and Cher.
All of the episodes were finally seen on USA Cable Network in the mid-'80s.

Created by Paul Mazursky
Larry Tucker

No. of episodes 12 (7 aired)

Original run September 26, 1973 – November 7, 1973

from Wikipedia
Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice was of necessity somewhat different from the R-rated 1969 movie upon which it was based. The film involved the (short-lived) desire of the two title couples to engage in a sexual foursome, which would have been obviously unacceptable on U.S. broadcast television in 1973. Instead, it made do with plots which were attempts at titillation by the broadcast standards of the time, but which stood a chance of surviving the censors at the network's Division of Standards and Practices.

These included skinny dipping, premarital sex, and unmarried couples cohabiting, which were still thought to be racy topics for network television by many at the time. Generally, Ted and Alice Henderson were more conservative than the "liberated" Bob and Carol Sanders. No members of the original film cast reprised their roles in the series.

Scheduled opposite CBS's Top 10 hit The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour and NBC's Top 30 hit Adam-12, the series earned very low Nielsen ratings, and was canceled less than two months after its premiere.

The show is perhaps best remembered for featuring a then eleven-year-old Jodie Foster as Ted and Alice's daughter. (This differed from the movie version, in which the characters had actually had a son, rather than a daughter.)
