ABOUT THE SHOW:
"Princesses" was a sitcom about three women sharing a luxurious New
York apartment. Tracy was set to marry a man, when she discovered he
was previously married and that his ex-wife and current, sexy business
partner are the same person. The luxurious apartment was a wedding
gift, and the giftgiver decided to let Tracy live there for a year, since the
rent was paid to that point. Tracy invited her soon-to-be-former roommate,
Melissa, to join her. They discover that Tracy's ex-fiance had lent the
apartment to a friend, down-her-luck royalty Georgy, but the two women
agreed to let her stay.
Julie Hagerty abruptly walked out on the troubled series after a few
episodes, leaving the failing series in limbo and finally pushing it
to cancellation.
"Princesses" was a Bungalow 78 production in association with Universal
Television, an MCA company. Music was by J.A.C. Redford. All episodes
were directed by Lee Shallat.

ABOUT THIS GUIDE:
Episode titles, original run dates, and production numbers come from
the online Library of Congress Information Service (telnet://locis.loc.gov).
I do not assume that the LOCIS information is completely correct (I have
found errors), so you shouldn't either. I will correct errors as I find
them or as they are pointed out to me.
