Love & War was a sitcom that aired on CBS from 1992 to 1995. It followed the lives of a group of friends who frequented a neighborhood bar in New York City called "Jourdan's." The show revolved around the romantic relationships and personal struggles of the bar's patrons and employees.

The show's main character was Jack Stein, played by Jay Thomas. Jack was a writer who frequented Jourdan's in search of inspiration for his work. He had a complicated relationship with the bar's owner, Bobbi Glass, played by Annie Potts. Bobbi was a strong-willed woman who was often at odds with Jack but was also secretly attracted to him.

Susan Dey played the role of Wally, the bartender at Jourdan's. Wally was a no-nonsense woman who acted as a confidant to the other characters in the show. She was also involved in a complicated on-again, off-again relationship with the bar's chef, Floyd.

Love & War was known for its witty writing and well-developed characters. The show tackled serious issues such as addiction, infertility, and aging, but did so with humor and grace. One of the show's most memorable storylines involved Jack's struggle with alcoholism and his eventual sobriety.

In addition to the main characters, Love & War had a talented supporting cast, including actor Michael Nouri as the suave and sophisticated restauranteur, Alex. Nouri's character provided a romantic interest for Bobbi and added a touch of elegance to the show.

Another standout character on the show was Nadine, played by Suzie Plakson. Nadine was a tall and somewhat intimidating woman who had a crush on Jack. Her pursuit of him provided many comedic moments throughout the show's run.

Love & War was created by Diane English, the same writer behind the popular sitcoms Murphy Brown and Designing Women. The show's distinct writing style and ensemble cast made it a hit among viewers and led to several Emmy nominations.

Despite its popularity, Love & War was canceled after three seasons due to low ratings. However, the show's impact on the sitcom genre can still be felt today. Its focus on character development and complex relationships paved the way for shows like Friends and Seinfeld.

Overall, Love & War was a smart and entertaining sitcom that explored the ups and downs of love and life in the big city. Its talented cast and witty writing made it a must-watch for fans of the genre and cemented its place in television history.

Love & War is a series that is currently running and has 3 seasons (70 episodes). The series first aired on September 21, 1992.
