Beginning of Act 3 of an episode of the NBC daytime soap opera "How to Survive A Marriage," which ran from 1/7/74 to 4/18/75. Clip features Jennifer Harmon as "Chris Kirby."
@revmary Yes, it was a bedroom scene with ken Kercheval and ??, I believe the audience saw more than usual and the actors portrayed the beg or ending of the sexual act.
This was one my mom watched along with Somerset. Incidentally, there was also a serial with Jacquie Courtney during the mid 1960s entitled Our Five Daughters. Haven't even seen a promo on Y/T for that one.
Anyway, How To Survive A Marriage is definitely an obscure treatment.
WOW! I didn't realize it was only on the air for 3 months. It did indeed leave an impression. I remember Ken K...when I first watched Dallas I immediately remembered him for HTSAM. Also Brad Davis, who starred in Midnight Express and lots of other stuff, was on this as some young guy with an illness/disesae of some kind. I don't thnk I've ever seen the actress playing Chris in anything after this.
@dtw1958 It was actually Michael Landrum (the original Larry Kirby) and Lynn Lowry (Sandra Henderson).

The actress who played Chris, Jennifer Harmon, went on to play the last Cathy Craig on OLTL. I saw her last year in a production of Richard III

From what little bit I can remember, this soap was a LITTLE too adult for a child of ten what I was to be watching.
