Duet (TV series)

Encyclopedia : D : DU : DUE : Duet (TV series)

Duet was a Fox sitcom (April 19, 1987 - August 20, 1989) starring Matthew Laurance as Ben Coleman, Mary Page Keller as Laura Kelly, Chris Lemmon as Richard Phillips, and Alison LaPlaca as Linda Phillips. Ben was a struggling mystery novelist and his girlfriend Laura was a caterer with her younger sister Jane (Jodi Thelen). Richard and Linda were a high-powered yuppie couple. He was in the family patio-furniture business and she was a studio executive. Richard later quit his job to become a professional pianist. Geneva (Arleen Sorkin) was the Phillipses' wisecracking, sexy maid.

In the 1987 - 88 season finale, Linda gave birth to a daughter, Amanda, who apparently grew up over the summer into a three-year-old (Ginger Orsi) capable of speech. When the 1988 - 89 season began, Ben and Laura had married, and Linda had lost her job at World Wide Studios. Linda then sought a partnership in Laura's catering business. By the time Duet left the air, LaPlaca was its breakout star, and took the lead in its spinoff, Open House.
