All that Glitters (1977)

The show, a spoof of the soap opera format, depicted the trials and
tribulations of a group of executives at the Globatron corporation.
The twist of the series was that it was set within a world of complete
role-reversal: Women were the "stronger sex," the executives and
breadwinners, while the "weaker sex" – the men – were the secretaries
or stay-at-home househusbands. Men were often treated as sex objects.
The series features Eileen Brennan, Greg Evigan, Lois Nettleton, Gary
Sandy, Tim Thomerson, and Jessica Walter. Comic actor and cartoon
voice artist Chuck McCann was also a regular. Linda Gray played
transgender fashion model Linda Murkland, the first transgender series
regular on American television.

The song was written by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman for the
ill-fated TV show All That Glitters. The song was intended to be a
theme song, but Norman Lear changed the concept of the show so that
the song no longer fit.
