title="Sitcom">sitcom</a> that aired on <a href="/wiki/Fox_Broadcasting_Company" title="Fox Broadcasting Company">Fox</a> from April 19, 1987, to May 7, 1989.

Richard and Linda Phillips were a high-powered <a href="/wiki/Yuppie" title="Yuppie">yuppie</a> couple. He was in the family patio-furniture business and she was a studio executive. Linda's boss at World Wide Studios was Cooper Hayden (<a href="/wiki/Larry_Poindexter" title="Larry Poindexter">Larry Poindexter</a>), who eventually became infatuated with Jane. Richard later quit his job to become a professional pianist. Geneva (<a href="/wiki/Arleen_Sorkin" title="Arleen Sorkin">Arleen Sorkin</a>) was the Phillipses' wisecracking, sexy maid who sometimes fraternized with the sisters. </p><p>Near the end of season 2, Linda gave birth to a daughter, Amanda. When the show returned for season 3, Amanda was now a four-year-old (Ginger Orsi). Also at the start of season 3 Ben and Laura had married, and Linda lost her job at World Wide Studios. Linda then sought a partnership in Laura's catering business. Just prior to the end of that season, Linda met real estate mogul Ted Nichols, played by guest star and LaPlaca's then-boyfriend, <a href="/wiki/Philip_Charles_MacKenzie" title="Philip Charles MacKenzie">Philip Charles MacKenzie</a>. Ted schmoozed her into joining his realty firm, selling upscale properties to snobs just like herself. </p><p>When the show returned for a 4th season, it was now retitled <i><a href="/wiki/Open_House_(1989_TV_series)" title="Open House (1989 TV series)">Open House</a></i>, and was centered around Linda and Ted. The characters of Laura, Richard, Amanda and Geneva all returned for <i>Open House</i>, but Amanda and Geneva were written out after only a few episodes. Eventually so was Richard.
