Question: Hello, Televisionary! You know, The Avengers remains one of my Top 10 programs of all time. But believe it or not, I have a non-Avengers question about Diana Rigg. Can you tell me about her short-lived American sitcom from the early '70s? — Barry B., Seattle, Wash. Televisionary: That I can, Barry. (And you're not alone, by the way; one of the higher-ups in the office here lives and breathes all things Avengers.)

On the show, Rigg played a Brit divorcée who moved to New York to relaunch her life. She took a job at a department store and cavorted with coworkers and pals who included a model (Carol Androsky), a writer/office mate, a window dresser and a mystery-writer bud (Mulligan).
