Reactions from the web

This comes from a repeat airing of the movie - the first run was 9/27/82 - "We've Got the Touch" was CBS' slogan the following season

I've got a sketchy copy of this movie, harder than hell to find it.

@chickenwretch 1

I'd like to see it again.   How ironic that many TV series had characters working in advertising?  They include:  Bewitched, Who's the Boss, Bosom Buddies, One Day at a Time, and Full House.    Valerie Harper did a movie called Dropout Mother.
