SYNOPSIS

This frothy comedy was the ultimate in navel-staring, TV  comedy writers writing about the funny world of TV comedy writers. A team of four bright young neophytes had been put together to write gags for a Candid Camera-type series called Here's Looking At You: conservative Chicago ad man Charlie, his frisky, insecure brother Jack, sexy and slightly naive Alex from Denver, and abrasive New Yorker Kate. They all lived together and played pranks on one another in a sunny Los Angeles beach house - except when they were facing their alternately tyrannical/neurotic producer Dawn in her plush offices. Lindsay was the bouncy teenager who lived next door.

All this cheer failed to draw an audience, so in January Going Places was completely revamped. Here's Looking At You was canceled, and the foursome became the production team for a maniacal talk-show host name Dick Roberts and his frazzled producer Arnie. Dawn disappeared, but joining the show were Kate's troublemaking nephew Nick, who came to live with them, and (toward the end of the run) Dick's son Sam, who became Nick's best pal.
