It's been a while since I've seen this series, but I grew up with it, and I recall that Samantha seemed to get very few phone calls from anyone other than Larry Tate, and he called pretty often, and yet she always sounded surprised that it was him, LOL.
shareWell she has to be nice to Darren's boss.

Yep, Larry on the phone and Mrs. Kravitz at the door.
why is he always calling the house? Why not leave a message with the secretary at the office? Or an answering service (few people had answering machines back then).
share Because it's a TV show! LOL I doubt if a lot of what went on at McMann and Tate was a truly accurate portrayal of the way an advertising business is run. I don't think the boss of such a business, Larry, would be in such constant contact with the wife of one of his executives.
And all that "entertaining clients" stuff...would you really drag your clients out to dinner in the suburbs all the time? Seems like you'd take them to a fancy restaurant. I hear that Manhattan has several! ha! But Larry's contact with Sam was usually a chance for hm to almost witness some magic.
She was a beautiful woman.
shareI think that Larry had an interest in Sam that goes beyond a professional boss-employee's wife interaction. Something that could not be directly said on a 1960's family sitcom.
share It would seem that way. I recall the episode where Serena subbed for Sam without Darrin knowing it. He called Larry over to discuss his marriage since "Sam" was being so mean to him.
Larry agreed to talk to "Sam" alone and Serena really came on to him. She flirted like crazy and Larry didn't really do anything to fend off her advances.
