This is How Movies Should Be Made

Disappointment for a huge fan!

Brilliant and touching

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Best sitcom ever. As a young newlywed male with first child on the way it made me understand sexual harassment in a different way.The show was humorous but very enlightening. Way ahead of its time, wish it would come back, maybe it would help break the glass ceiling for woman. The show dealt with both verbal and physical sexual harassment before we heard of being politically correct. All That Glitters was aired late night which may have been its demise. It would be the talk of the shop for us on the midnight crew. The slapping on the butt of the male secretaries by the female executives was over the top in the 70's. This would be followed by the male secretaries pushing back the sexual advances and invitations by the female executives in fear of retribution by them.

Tonight I happened to be thinking about this show for no discernible reason, when, *poof!* I had the epiphany of finally remembering the *name* of this show. So I had to come look it up and see if anybody else remembered it or what the story of its cancellation was. I watched it some as a kid, but sadly stumbled into it fairly late in its run; practically by the time I decided I liked the show and wanted to watch it regularly, it was *poof!* off the air. I don't remember it well enough to rate it, but that opening "song" sure was catchy and a fair bit of it stuck in my head. I really wonder if I would enjoy the show now, as an adult, or if it would seem trite. I don't know. But I liked it then, and it pleases me to find others who remember and liked it. Thanks, guys!

Satirical soap opera in the vein of "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman". In this the women are in charge and the men are objectified.This was controversial when it aired on TV. Norman Lear already had "Mary Hartman..." on the air and figured he could try another show in the same format. Most stations aired this late at night (it didn't show here until 11:30) so this never had a chance. Also there was a transsexual character--a real first for TV. I was only 15 when this aired and found it pretty funny--but obvious. This was basically a one-joke satire--it just put women in the place of men and that was it. All the obvious issues were addressed pretty quickly and then this had nowhere to go. The writing was sharp and they had a great cast but, after the initial controversy, this show quickly died. It would NOT be made today. So--on one hand I enjoyed it. On the other I found it obvious. I wonder if it would hold up today.

It is great to have finally found a site that includes some information on "All That Glitters". I was 19 years old and living in New Orleans when this unique show aired late at night after Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. I loved it and have always wondered if I imagined it as not one single person I knew had seen it except a few guys who lived upstairs in my apartment complex. Lear was certainly right on with this way ahead of its time show. It would be awesome if TV Land could get a hold of the few episodes and get them repeated. It is a must see for all. The whole premise was terrific but I can see that it might have stirred up the TV censors for its time but would still be relevant now. Let's hope it can make it back on the small screen even if just to acknowledge Norman Lear's brilliance.
