This ensemble comedy is about the inner workings of a high-style magazine owned by Jack Gallo, who has hired his quick-tempered but talented daughter, Maya, to write for the publication. Challenging her at every turn is Nina, a vain and superficial former model. Then there's photographer Elliot, a man who is very popular with his portrait subjects as well as other women. completing the core staff is her father's assistant, Dennis, a glorified secretary who is generally disrespectful to one and all.

Maya tries to reunite Vicki and ex-husband Pete (Danny Nucci) but winds up sleeping with him instead.

Maya ghostwrites a poem for Finch, and Jack shows it to the editor of a literary magazine; Elliott hires Nina's rival (Cheryl Tiegs) to replace her.

Although he's married to a younger woman, Jack flips when Maya is pursued by a 60-plus playboy (Chad Everett).

On Secretary's Day, Finch gets annoyed and leaves the office in a huff, winding up on "The Tonight Show" recounting how he fell into a gorilla cage at the zoo.
