Dharma & Greg
Dharma & Greg was an American television situation comedy broadcast between 1997 and 2002 on ABC.
The premise of the show was a relationship between two characters regarded as cultural opposites. Dharma (Jenna Elfman) was raised by hippie parents, a practitioner of yoga and an adherent of Eastern spiritualities. Greg (Thomas Gibson) was an attorney from an upper class, old money family of Republicans. They married each other on their first date.
The show focused on the characters' marriage and the compromise of their different values. However, both Dharma and Greg were more moderate than their parents, often caricatures, in personality and viewpoints. Most of the episodes take place in or around San Francisco, as that is where the main characters live (Dharma's parents live in Marin County).
After a moderate success of five seasons, the series was cancelled in 2002 along with Spin City and Once and Again due to low ratings during the 2001–2002 season and a change in target demographics.
Years after the show was over, both Jenna Elfman and Thomas Gibson would return to television with their respective shows Courting Alex, a short-lived comedy, and Criminal Minds, a crime drama, back to back on Wednesdays on CBS during March 2006.
