THE CONVERSATION

What ever happened to TV theme songs?
“Above the Top” – is there really a restaurant on the top floor of the Bonaventure Hotel?
Why did Proctor & Gamble pull out as a sponsor after the very first episode?
OPERATION: SALAD STATION! Why is it in the break room? And where’s the sneeze guard?
The Weirdest Episode: where Jan dies giving birth, meets the “Angel of Death” – Danny Thomas – and strangest of all, gets three months off for maternity leave!
Susan Sullivan or Marian Mercer – who mothered the wild waitresses best?
Stu Silver, Jenna McMahon & Dick St.Clair or Paul Younger Witt and Tony Thomas: Who created the show – and who ran it?
RUN THE NUMBERS: How many female writers and directors did “It’s A Living” have? Maybe more than you think… (Including Neema Barnette – the first African American woman to direct a sitcom!)

So join Susan and Sharon as they talk pay phones, Sizzler, “Beauty and the Beast”, Burt Reynolds, the Bona Vista Lounge -- and safe gun storage!
