About

You can stream On Our Own (1977) on Amazon Prime with a subscription.

On Our Own is a short-lived American sitcom broadcast on CBS from October 1977 to April 1978, lasting for one season and 22 episodes. Maria Bonino and Julia Peters are two secretaries in a high-powered New York advertising agency. They are promoted to art director and copywriter and begin their new careers with enthusiasm. Other people in the agency include J.M. Bedford, chairman of the board; Toni McBain, the President; April Baxter, a copywriter; Eddie Barnes, a TV commercial producer, and Craig Boatwright, a salesman.

Sharp wit and rapid-fire dialogue drive this rare snapshot of the late seventies corporate ladder. Two secretaries navigating the cutthroat world of New York advertising prove they have much more than clerical skills.
