''The Slap Maxwell Story'' (sometimes seen in print as ''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 (Megan Gallagher), one of the paper's secretaries, due primarily to his off-putting personality. Annie (Susan Anspach) was Slap's ex-wife, who nonetheless retained a (small) soft spot for him. A recurring event throughout the series' run is that at some point in each episode, someone would hit Slap (hence the character's nickname), 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. ==References== *Brooks, Tim and Marsh, Earle, ''The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Slap Maxwell Story」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
