Name: The Life and Times of Eddie Roberts
Genre: Comedy
Released: 1980-01-07
Rating: 5.4
Cast: Renny Temple, Udana Power, Joan Hotchkis

This syndicated soap opera parody ran only briefly during 1980.  If you weren't in one of the few markets that carried it, you're out of luck, as I doubt even TV LAND will ever show this again.

The basic setting was a boarding house where college instructor Eddie Roberts lived.  The rest of the characters were either relatives, friends, or housemates.  One of the housemates was in a Symbionese Liberation Army-like group, as I recall.

L.A.T.E.R. wanted to be another Mary Hartman or Soap but the talent pool just wasn't there.
