Temporarily Yours

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Temporarily Yours was an American sitcom that ran for six episodes in 1997. It starred actress Debi Mazar as Deb, a young woman who is desperate for a luxurious, cheaply priced New York City apartment. She lies to the landlady about having a job with a temp agency and then hurries to the agency to beg for work before the landlady calls and discovers the lie. The agency is run by Joan (Tony Award winner Joanna Gleason), an uptight businesswoman. Joan reluctantly takes on Deb as an employee but sends her out on strange assignments. In the pilot episode, she is sent to work as a makeup artist at a mortuary. The five following episodes generally revolved around Deb's various temporary assignments and how they affected her personal life.

The series was heavily derided by critics and had low viewership and was canceled mid-season.

The initial pilot for the series, made back in 1988 starred child actor Jason Marsden. The pilot was rejected and Marsden went on to play Eddie on the pilot for The Munsters Today, where he remained for three seasons.
