The comic misfortunes of an overweight young woman as she looks for love while dealing with the pressures of her family and social life. A minor, short-lived sitcom that originated as a single play in an anthology series. While the central premise feels dated today, the show attempted to find humor in the everyday anxieties of self-image.
It relies heavily on the charm of its lead and the reliable support of seasoned performers like Maurie Fields and Val Jellay, but the writing rarely rises above the level of predictable domestic mishaps.
