Love and Marriage (1996)

Where it all started, and only for the truly devoted. Her first series as creator is a Fox family sitcom about a Manhattan couple, played by Anthony Denison (pictured in 2009) and Patricia Healy, raising three kids on opposite shifts: he runs a parking garage by day and she waits tables overnight, so they barely see each other. Do not expect Stars Hollow. Fox canceled it in the fall of 1996 after only three of its nine episodes had aired, so this is a glimpse of the writer before she found her rhythm rather than a show to settle into.
