Caroline in the City

In the Mary Richards/Monica Role: Lea Thompson's flibbertigibbet cartoonist, Caroline. She's talented all right, but usually flirting with victimhood.

Use of Camp TV References: In one episode, Florence Henderson (that's Mrs. Brady to you) is discussed as the cornerstone of modern civilization.

Brilliant Sight Gag: Entire cast, decked out in hot-pink snowsuits, dangles from balloon ropes in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Studs-in-the-Making: Del (Eric Lutes), Caroline's boyfriend/boss, is too goofy; Richard (Malcolm Gets), her sullen illustrator is too fey.

Home Furnishings: Postmodern hip. The essential piece of furniture in Caroline's impossibly spacious Manhattan loft is her drafting table.

Dependence on Peter Pan Syndrome: Del is so adolescently commitment-phobic that the prospect of a romantic weekend gives him a bad case of the heebie-jeebies.
