I ADORED Love and War and watched it religiously. Joanna played a barmaid in a NY bar. Jay Thomas was a newspaper reporter who hung out in the bar, Suzie Plakson was... I think another writer, Charlie Robinson was the Bar keep. Originally Susan Dey was the owner of the bar, but history relates that she and Diane English (series creator) didn't get along, so she was fired and Annie Potts came on board. Joel Murray was also on the show as another "hanging out in a bar" character.
The show was on for a couple of years on CBS. I, too have a few precious episodes on VHS. I pray for it to appear one day in syndication somewhere. The show was created by the Murphy Brown creator. Great writing in the beginning.
Joanna shone in the show. She was always kinda hyper stressed and she even directed a couple of the episodes.
That help?
EDIT: I mean her character on the show was "hyper stressed".
