One of the most bizarre things I've ever, ever seen. Watched it for the first time tonight.
A 1985 pilot about a hyper-sexist womanizing commercial director who dies in a hang-gliding accident but comes back to Earth immediately as a woman who tries to fit back into their old job only now as a new person.
Suzanne Sommers is a masterful talent and her performance pulls so much more out of the material than what by all means should exist, but it's 1985 so the pilot can't seem to decide whether its tone is subverting misogynistic stereotypes or leaning into them.
Anyone else ever seen this?
