The Robert Guillaume Show

The Robert Guillaume Show is an American sitcom television series starring Robert Guillaume that aired on ABC from April 5 to July 19, 1989.

Synopsis
The series starred Guillaume as Edward Sawyer, a single father with two children who begins an interracial relationship with Ann (Wendy Phillips), his white secretary who has a daughter of her own.

According to Guillaume's autobiography, he conceived the series with the intent of exploring racial complexities in a family situation in a comedic way, but was warned by ABC that the American public needed time to get used to the idea of an interracial romance. Guillaume maintained that ABC deliberately sabotaged the series by airing episodes out of order and showed a kiss between Edward and Ann on the second episode instead of the intended eighth. The series was soon canceled, lasting only thirteen episodes.
