Young Marrieds on ABC

Four newlywed couples fueled this soap, which was supposed to be set in the suburbs of `General Hospital' 's Port Charles, though the locale was rarely mentioned. Perhaps because the residents were too busy with endless professional jealousies, home-front crises and, by the end of the run, one character's planned suicide after the collapse of his marriage. This was one of the first TV gigs for Charles Grodin, whose hero juggled a mother-in-law from hell and a boss played by Ted Knight.
