All That Glitters (TV series)
- All That Glitters (TV series)
"All That Glitters" was the name of a 1977 television series by producer Norman Lear. The premise of the show depicted a world of complete role-reversal: Women were the "stronger sex" and breadwinners, while the "weaker sex" - the men - would stay home and be househusbands. Men would often be treated as sex objects.
The series featured many notable celebrities including: Eileen Brennan, Greg Evigan, Linda Gray, Wes Parker, Gary Sandy, Tim Thomerson, and Jessica Walter. Comic actor and cartoon voice artist Chuck McCann was also a regular.
The series ran in syndication on late-night. It was cancelled after one season.
While the show itself was a failure, it did spawn a hit song: "You Don't Bring Me Flowers", which had been written with the intention of it being the theme song, was recorded by Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand and made it to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. (By the time the show made it to air, another song had been chosen as the theme.) [ [http://www.ascap.com/musicbiz/bergman-part1.html Alan and Marilyn Bergman on Songwriting: Part 1 ] ]
