Desc: Advice to the Lovelorn: Directed by Harry Falk. With Cloris Leachman, Kelly Bishop, Walter Brooke, Melissa Sue Anderson. This was a pilot for a series centering on Maggie Dale, an advice columnist. This was somewhat in the tradition of shows like Fantasy Island. When she receives a letter, the writer's situation is played out for us, then she writes her advice and the writer reads her response and does his/her best to act upon it.
