FORGET YOUR PROBLEMS... THEIRS ARE FUNNIER!
Created by Sherry Coben
On CBS
A warm, character-driven sitcom centered on the deep friendship between two women navigating life together in New York, balancing humor with genuine emotional connection.
Kate & Allie is an American television situation comedy which ran from March 19, 1984, to May 22, 1989. Kate & Allie first aired on CBS as a midseason replacement series and only six episodes were initially commissioned, but the favorable response from critics and viewers alike easily convinced CBS to commit to a full season in the fall of 1984. The series was created by Sherry Coben.
