The Slap Maxwell Story

Taglines

Overview

The Slap Maxwell Story is a situation comedy broadcast in the United States by ABC as part of its 1987-88 lineup.

It stars Dabney Coleman as "Slap" Maxwell, an egocentric sportswriter for a newspaper called The Ledger, somewhere in the American Southwest. The Ledger was a very old-fashioned newspaper -- Slap still composed his column, "Slap Shots," on a typewriter -- and Slap was a very old-fashioned guy. Despite the newly litigious environment of journalism, Slap insisted on filling his column with rumor and innuendo, drawing lawsuits and Slap's frequent termination, to be followed by a groveling apology and his rehiring.

He had an on-again, off-again relationship with girlfriend Judy, one of the paper's secretaries, due primarily to his off-putting personality. Annie was Slap's ex-wife, who nonetheless retained a soft spot for him.

A recurring event throughout the series' run is that at some point in each episode, someone would hit Slap, with a nun even doing the honors in one episode.

The show was created by Jay Tarses, who in 1983 was co-creator of Buffalo Bill, an NBC sitcom in which Coleman starred as a similarly off-putting character, the host of a TV talk show.

Overview

Слэп Максвелл, эгоцентричный спортивный обозреватель газеты «The Ledger», где-то на юго-западе Америки. «The Ledger» была очень старомодной газетой - Слэп все еще писал свою колонку «Сдеп коротко» на пишущей машинке - потому-что Слэп был очень старомодным парнем. Несмотря на новую сутяжническую среду журналиста, Слэп настаивал на том, чтобы заполнить свою колонку слухами и инсинуациями, привлечь к судебным процессам и частым увольнениям Слэпа, за которыми последовали унижающие извинения и его повторное найм. У него были постоянные отношения с подругой Джуди, одной из секретарш газеты, в первую очередь из-за его неприятного характера. Энни была бывшей женой Слэпа, которая, тем не менее, питала к нему слабость. Повторяющееся событие на протяжении всего сериала заключается в том, что в какой-то момент в каждом эпизоде ​​кто-то ударял по пощечине, а монахиня даже оказывала почести в одном эпизоде.
