I believe this was a one-shot program. A pilot that couldn't succeed because there was nowhere to go with it as a series. The first husband was a quarterback with the Jets, and when his plane crashes, she cashes his insurance policies, buys a fancy condo, and soon after marries a sportswriter. Turns out the QB survived the crash on a desert island somewhere and it took him several years to get back to the US and find his wife. All are completely surprised. Another character was the man-crazy neighbor who would love to have either of the wife's husbands, if and when she chooses one. There were a lot of clever and cute jokes. I have never seen any reference to it anywhere and wonder if a tape exists. Some of the jokes I still remember. Anybody else remember this? OK, it was silly and I was young, but even then I liked it better than most of the stuff on TV.

I Do Remember This Show
richard.fuller123 September 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Remembered the title, decided to look for it.
Plot was the woman remarried and her supposedly dead husband, a football player, returned and was still alive. These were Three's Company ideas, by the way.
No one must know the first husband is alive and he is on his hands and knees with his rear end to the front door, doing something, there's a knock at the door, it's the man-crazy neighbor and she recognizes his backside right off, so now she knows.
The first husband had brown hair and a beard as well.
Another scene is where the wife and the neighbor are in the kitchen and she is telling the neighbor about 'the sex' while the neighbor operates a blender and with each build-up, the neighbor increases the speed on the blender, until finally the wife goes, " . . . . the blender," and the neighbor responds in ecstasy, "Oh, yes, the blender,' then realizes what she is doing.
The other show I recalled, also as a pilot, was Ghost of a Chance, with Barry Van Dyke, Steven Keats and Shelly Long. Didn't remember that title, but recalled it was Keats and Van Dyke.
But I did recall this one's title.
