It's strange how some shows that look like they would go over well like "American Girls" and "Half Nelson" don't.

The other girl with Priscilla is Debra Clinger. She was a member of "Kaptain Kool and the Kongs". The band also featured Michael Lembeck before his One Day At A Time gig.

Here's a publicity photo taken of Priscilla for that ill-fated series. "Gorgeous" TV journalist for sure, I agree with that description...!

That's Priscilla? It doesn't look like her. For sure I wouldn't have been able to recognize her.

Here are Priscilla and Debra. In the first image, I think Debra really
resembles Erin Gray (of Silver Spoons & Buck Rogers):

The show only lasted 6 episodes before it was cancelled. 5 episodes remain unaired.

Somebody posted the first episode on Youtube and it was a Charlie Angels knock off show with 2 girls instead of 3. I think it had potential with better scripts, but it was up against The Love Boat so it didn't last long.
