Synopsis

All That Glitters is an American situation comedy television series by producer Norman Lear. It consisted of 65 episodes and aired between April 18 and July 15, 1977 in broadcast syndication. The show, a spoof of the soap opera format, depicted the trials and tribulations of a group of executives at the Globatron corporation. The twist of the series was that it was set within a world of complete role-reversal: Women were the "stronger sex," the executives and breadwinners, while the "weaker sex" – the men – were the secretaries or stay-at-home househusbands. Men were often treated as sex objects. The series features Eileen Brennan, Greg Evigan, Lois Nettleton, Gary Sandy, Tim Thomerson and Jessica Walter. Comic actor and cartoon voice artist Chuck McCann was also a regular. Linda Gray played transgender fashion model Linda Murkland, the first transgender series regular on American television. Before and after its premiere, All That Glitters was negatively received and the series lasted just 13 weeks.

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
charles-209-100758 This was a show far ahead of its time. Norman Lear was cutting edge and this was even more so. The few episodes there were were always well done well and were most enjoyable. I was 20 and really enjoyed the role reversals.It was an odd time, the 70's and this show was clearly intended for the audience of the day.I particularity enjoyed Gary Sandy as the secretary who was always trying to use his boss to rise above his station.Linda Gray as the transgender woman was fantastic. This was a hard role to play as transgendered people were not thought of in polite terms.The concept of the show was shocking and thought provoking as it made us look at how sexual discrimination affected everyone, not just those being discriminated against. How it affected society in general and the workplace in particular.
drlspears I've never forgotten the name of the show that I consider to be the best sitcom ever. I don't remember the theme song. I just remember the sexual harassment, the silly secretaries and the guy in the mirror. I don't remember trans-gender. Nor interracial. My focus was role reversal and how darn funny it was. Women Executives worked for me. And the men were so hysterical.... Like many of you, I would love to see the series again..and again. I've been looking for YEARS for mention of the show. Glad to find a few folks that have seen it and loved it. Bring it back! Please. I want to see it again. All That Glitters is the best show ever. It was a great laugh. It was entertaining. It was the best!
ADSBarber Every so often I would begin singing the theme song to All That Glitters. However, this evening I could not remember the name of the show and that really bothered me. So, I searched my mind until I remembered that the harassed secretary later starred in WKRP in Cincinnati. From there, I was able to drill down until I found the name of the show. As one of the other posters inferred, I thought I was the only one who remembered this absolutely funny and before-its-time sitcom. I can't begin to describe how knowing I'm not the only person who remembers gives me just a bit more confidence that my age had not altered cherished memories. LOL At any rate, it is too bad this show is not on DVD. Or is it? Inquiring minds what to know...
grgetme Remember? It went something like this One morning the Lord, Shewoke up to say, "I feel like i want to be creative today. So by the virtue of the power I invested in me I make the heaven, the earth and the deep blue sea." Things swam by, walked, fly-ed,creep ed and crawled. "Now I'd better make someone to name it all". Yes a human was needed in the neighborhood. So the Lord made woman and it was good. She said "the garden of eden is no place to be alone". So from the rib of the Madam came Adam full grown. As time went by this groom and bride followed the instructions and multiplied. He cooked. She worked.............That's all I can remember. Can anyone help me find the rest of the words or maybe even the song itself? email me
