Occasional Wife

I read a lot of comments stating that Will & Grace is a ripoff of Ned and Stacey. Is anyone here old enough to remember a show from the 1960s called Occasional Wife? This show that lasted one season, from 1966-67. The premise was exactly the same--an aspiring executive needs to get married to move ahead. The only difference is that in the original show, they didn't actually get married or live together--it was the 60s, after all. As I recall, she lived upstairs and would sneak in and out through the fire escape when his boss made surprise visits.
Honestly, I didn't watch Ned and Stacey enough to get invested in it--I guess I'm one of those who associated Thomas Haden Church with Lowell--but I've loved watching Will & Grace. Yes, there are parallels between the two recent shows--the beautiful Debra Messing starred in both shows, her character's name had 'ace' in it. Note also that in Occasional Wife, the woman's name was Greta--a five-letter name beginning in 'Gr'--so Will & Grace is obviously a ripoff of that show too!
