On this day, January 18, 1989, A Fine Romance premiered on ABC. Starring Christopher Cazenove and Margaret Whitton, the romantic dramedy followed the relationship between an American actress and a British director navigating their lives and love in the glamorous world of Hollywood.

Despite its unique premise and engaging performances, the series ran for only one season, producing 12 episodes before its cancellation. While short-lived, A Fine Romance remains a nostalgic piece of 80s television for fans of lighthearted romantic comedies.

Fun Fact: The title A Fine Romance was shared with a 1973 British sitcom starring Judi Dench, though the two shows were unrelated.

Trivia Question: What was the name of the British actor who starred alongside Judi Dench in the original A Fine Romance?
