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

Every so often I would begin singing the theme song to All That Glitters. However, this evening I could not remember the name of the show and that really bothered me. So, I searched my mind until I remembered that the harassed secretary later starred in WKRP in Cincinnati. From there, I was able to drill down until I found the name of the show. As one of the other posters inferred, I thought I was the only one who remembered this absolutely funny and before-its-time sitcom. I can't begin to describe how knowing I'm not the only person who remembers gives me just a bit more confidence that my age had not altered cherished memories. LOL At any rate, it is too bad this show is not on DVD. Or is it? Inquiring minds what to know...

I seem to remember it being on one of the (few) independent channels of the era. The other comment here talks about 'network.' That's all I really wanted to ask, but it wants me to write ten lines. Since I wrote the summary here I often get e-mail about this show and my only knowledge comes from having watched it when it aired. I did get to ask Norman Lear about it when he spoke here once. At the time I tried to post a comment quoting his response, but I think that the powers-to-be probably didn't want to have me asserting what Norman said.If you write to me about this show, bear in mind that I just got to watch it when it aired and I am just relying on those memories.

I really hope that "All the Glitters" is rerun or that videos are made available. It was such a good show! I would love to see it again. It was intelligent and definitely ahead of its time. Norman Lear is a national treasure. I miss Dark Angel also. So many of the actors in All That Glitters were top notch and went on to do other things. Most of my friends missed All That Glitters when it was on tv. It's hard to explain to them how well done it was. I also felt maybe I had imagined it when it disappeared so fast. Maybe a cable channel will rerun it. Tina

I have always been a fan of Norman Lear, with his vision and unique sense of humor. "All That Glitters" was one of his best, and I really missed it when it vanished so abruptly. It's a shame that the networks are so quick to pull shows that are unconventional before they have a chance to prove themselves, despite rabid fan bases. (Examples (in alphabetical order): All's Fair, Early Edition, Earth 2, Family Law, Firefly, First Monday, Freaks and Geeks, Golden Years, L.A. Doctors, Ned and Stacey, Nightmare Cafe, Now and Again, Pretender, Prey, Push Nevada, Reasonable Doubts, Relativity, Space:Above & Beyond, Sportsnight, Strange Luck, The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd, Tracker, Vengeance Unlimited, VR.5, Witchblade, and possibly Mister Sterling) (You can't tell I'm a SciFi fan, can you?)It's gotten so bad that I won't watch new shows that I've heard are great until it's been on at least 3 seasons - It seems that every time I get hooked on a show, it disappears... Of course, now, I just get the DVDs of the complete series. (That's how I've watched Angel, and will probably watch 24.)Okay, done ranting now!
