The Cara Williams Show
Frank and Cara were office associates who were both divorced and fell in love with each other and eventually got married--secretly. The problem was, the company absolutely forbade any inter-office dating and was especially strict on relatives or married couples. Frank would have lost his management position and Cara would lose her job as well. The short time this was on the air, the whole story evolved around the couple hiding their marriage or living at the same address.
