Love & War era newspaper clippings

Here's a handful of press clipping from Susan Dey's time on the sitcom Love & War. This comedy series was supposed to keep Susan Dey in a regular television role following her departure from L.A. Law, but she left after just one season after having disagreements with creator/producer Diane English. Afterwards, Susan Dey focused her attention on TV movies, a format with which she had had much success with in the past.

Susan Dey in Love & War

In 1992, after leaving the iconic L.A. Law, Susan Dey's next project was a sitcom entitled Love & War. Of course, she had gotten popular in the first place appearing on a half hour comedy program called The Partridge Family. However, when she attempted the format again in 1977 with Loves Me, Loves Me Not (done by the same team that did the more successful Soap later on that year), the show only ran for six episodes. After that she abandoned the format for feature films, TV movies, and hour long dramas. But following six seasons of L.A. Law, Susan Dey decided to attempt comedy again, partnering with sitcom veteran Jay Thomas. In the end it wasn't meant to be and she left the show after only one season due the ubiquitous 'creative differences' explanation.
