Released at the height of his popularity on Family Ties and in the wake of Back to the Future and Teen Wolf, Michael J. Fox stars in this "country boy in the big city" comedy, directed by Herbert Ross. After making the move from Kansas to New York City, Brantley Foster (Fox) secures a job in the mailroom at his uncle's large corporation. Doffing any plans of working his way up the corporate ladder the old fashioned way, Brantley begins impersonating an executive to impress a high-ranking female co-worker, played by Helen Slater. Once his oversexed aunt enters the mix, Brantley finds himself juggling two identities, two jobs, and two women. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

Although its title sounded like the set-up to a "knock knock" pun ("Sam and Janet who?" "Sam and Janet Evening!"), this British sitcom concerned itself with a wealthy couple named Marshall. Though living in the lap of luxury, Sam (John Junkin) and Janet (Joan Sims) were not terribly fond of one another, and never let an opportunity pass to indulge in a vituperative argument. Sam and Janet was based on a radio series which also starred Carry On veteran Joan Sims, who left the TV version halfway through, to be replaced by Vivienne Martin. The 15-episode series was carried by ATV from 1967 to 1968. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
