John Ritter plays a widower who, along with Sharon Gless’s lonely, unmarried woman, meets in a group‑therapy session. Their attraction sparks a romance fraught with comic mishaps. Though marketed as a straight romantic drama, the 1985 made‑for‑TV film feels more like a 1930s‑style screwball comedy, satirizing behavior‑modification theories. It premiered May 11, 1985.
