[edit] Plot summary

Jack McLaren (Tom Selleck), a successful advertising executive, starts his own agency. The business, the employees in the agency, and his personal life provide the story lines. The characters include a creative director, Carl Dobson (Ed Asner), an accountant, Erica Hewitt (Penelope Ann Miller), and a bored secretary, Beverly (Suzy Nakamura); McLaren's estranged and eventually divorced wife, Claire McLaren (Joanna Kerns), and daughter Alex (Hedy Burress). In the "Baby It's Cold Outside" episode, an old flame, actress Victoria (Bernadette Peters), visits and she and Jack start to rekindle their romance. Victoria and Jack sing and dance in a fantasy musical sequence. (The music and lyrics of the song from that episode were nominated for an Emmy Award.)
