1980 CBS. "The Price of Love." Catskills resort hotel kitchen sitcom. Created by Gary David Goldberg. Larry Breeding, Walter Olkewicz, Stephanie Faracy, John Fujioka, Zane Lasky, Ray Underwood, Robert Costanzo. An MTM Enterprises (Mary Tyler Moore/Grant Tinker) production that lasted one season. This is another one of those 1979 season shows that show up a lot on Youtube, probably because of an early model VCR that hit the market that year.

A mortician convention is in town. One of them is hitting on pastry chef Gail (Stephanie Faracy) and won't take no for an answer. Michael (Larry Breeding) falls hard for a hard working girl but soon finds out she is a working girl. She's a hooker! as Norm Macdonald as Kojak would say. Everyone on the staff offers him advice. The always funny Robert Costanzo plays the maitre d' Murray and he had something similar happen to a friend of his (actually him.) The hooker even goes to cynical Zach (Walter Olkewicz) for advice herself but that doesn't work out so well either.

There are a couple of episodes on Youtube at the moment and I watched a few of them a couple of years ago. A solid B grade sitcom.
