Struggling songwriters living in an antique shop instead of an actual apartment with the little sister red-haired sister (Susan something), interacting with the owner of the shop (Pat Carroll) and the neighborhood cop (Jack Burns)...plots concern Sis's first date and witnessing a car accident.
Wonder if this was when Bobby Sherman realized there's a limit to what you'll do to stay in show biz and started studying to become a Paramedic?

GETTING TOGETHER was an extremely silly, short-lived ABC sitcom created to cash in on the Bobby Sherman craze. I believe Bobby played Bobby Conway a composer who couldn't write lyrics and an actor named Wes Stern (whatever happened to him?) played Lionel Poindexter, a lyricist who couldn't write music and I think they lived together and wrote music together. This was a gimmick show and the gimmick was Bobby Sherman, hardly enough to base an entire series on. Bad idea that jumped from day one.

To the poster above, the John Forsythe show was called "To Rome with Love". The only reason I remember it is because TRWL crossed over with a Family Affair episode. Buffy and Jody got lost in Rome. Too bad Uncle Bill didn't say, "I'm finally rid of those repulsively sweet kids." The show Getting Together starred Bobby Sherman about a year after Here Come the Brides bit the dust.

As much as I loved Bobby Sherman as a young teenager, this show should have never been aired. First of all, they spun in (weakly) off of "The Partridge Family" when even my second teenage idol David Cassidy's appeal was fading. Bobby Sherman was post-idol by far by then. Also, who remembers his costars? A girl whose name escapes me but was also on a show with John Forsythe-something with the word "Rome" in its title and Wes Stern...Who? Songwriters trying to "make it" was the theme, I think. Scary I remember this, but hey, Bobby was my first... Jumped before it even began.
