Executive Suite

Overview

Executive Suite was an American drama television series based on the 1954 film of the same name. It aired from September 20, 1976 until February 11, 1977.

The series was a prime time soap opera set at the Cardway Corporation in Los Angeles. Much of the action focused on the power-struggle between Don Walling (Cardway’s president) and Howell Rutledge (the company’s vice president and his chief rival).

We had to get that from Mediawiki since none of us knew about the show.
