This is a well written show that has held up very well over the years. The stories, while confined to the sitcom format, have not lost relevance today. I've been watching it on FreeVee and am up to season 2 and while I'm not happy about about the loss of two of the characters, it hasn't harmed the quality of the show. I really liked Susan Sullivan's character, she did a great job, but Louise Lassiter was a good replacement. I think the only character that is stuck in the 80s is the piano player, Sonny. However, compared to other smarmy, misogynist 80s characters, Sonny is much easier to take, and the actor is funny and has some good lines. Speaking of good lines, Ann Jillian has some real zingers.
The creators of It's a Living went on to do The Golden Girls, one of the best sitcoms ever made, so there are elements of It's a Living that are familiar to GG fans, like the music, storylines, and actors.
I didn't watch this too often during its original run, but I appreciate it a lot more now, and am so glad I found it. My only complaint is the theme song, which is so grating I have to mute it every time.
