Doug Lambert (Martin Mull) – the divorced father of two teenage children – and Regina “Reggie” Hewitt (Stephanie Faracy) – a divorcée with no children – were both marriage counsellors.
They married, honeymooned at Lake Tahoe, and set up house at 960 North Eagle Lane in Los Angeles with Doug’s kids – Mandy (Lisa Picotte) and Noah (Blake Soper) – and a pet cat named Fluffy, which Doug threw every morning from his second-floor bedroom window.
Doug and Reggie shared adjoining offices in an unnamed high-rise building in downtown Los Angeles. They also co-hosted Marriage Talk, a call-in radio program on station KRTM.
Doug collected Civil War cigar bands as a hobby and estimated that he had saved 84 marriages. Reggie was voted “the psychologist you’d most like to share a couch with” in grad school. Her mentor (not seen) was Dr Emile Ludwig.
Other regulars included Doug’s friend, divorce lawyer Jeff Spencer (Richard Kline), who has five kids and cheats on his wife, and Reggie and Doug’s flaky receptionist, Debbie (Blair Tefkin).
The CBS comedy did not do well and was pulled before it finished its 13 episode run.
