OMG I heard they had done this for TV, but never believed it. I'm a big fan of the movie, but I can see how back in the 70s they had a mega hit so I can see how some hollywood bigwigs translate Bigscreen success = success on little screen.
Nevertheless, it is very hard to closely imitate other actors, especially if these are dramatic actors imitating comedic actors. Barry Bostwick is not known for klutziness. Deborah Raffin is not known for ditziness. Maybe a cute and perky blonde character actress, like, let's say, Anne Bloom of "Not Necessarily the News," could make it work as Gloria.
Wow...didn't think I'd ever see this either. Cool they kept "Ready to Take a Chance Again" and the SF setting. Looks like Gloria's apartment looks similar...is that the little twins from the money making infomercials?
For 30 years "Foul Play" has been my all time favorite movie. I did, however, forget that there was a short-lived TV series based on this movie. Do you think you can upload some clips of the "Foul Play" TV show, if you have them?
I finally seen an intro on youtube worse than "Joanie loves Chachi!!" id have more fun matching socks than watching this serious piece of @#$

Mary Jo Catlette played the third housekeeper (Pearl), on "Different Strokes". Also, she played in several Black Flag commercials, in the 1980's.

Robert L Boyett (the 'B' in MMB..before that it was just MM) joined the company in 1980.
Foul Play the series premiered in 81 (according to IMDb).
Just wondering if MM and B did any other shows during that year.
