FM is an American television sitcom which aired on NBC in 1989 and 1990.^[1] The series title was a pun, referring both to the show's setting at an FM radio station and to its themes of female-male interaction.^[2]

Set in Washington, D.C., the series was a workplace comedy which took place at 91.6/WGEO, a small public radio station.^[3] Robert Hays starred as program director Ted Costas, a man whose harried professional life and eccentric coworkers distract him from dealing with problems in his personal life, particularly his relationships with women. The women in his life include Lee-Ann Plunkett (Patricia Richardson), his ex-wife and a political commentator with the station; Gretchen Schreck (DeLane Matthews), a young woman he used to babysit who is now an intern for the station; Naomi Sayers (Lynne Thigpen), the station manager; and Maude (Nicole Huntington), his daughter with Lee-Ann.

The cast also included Leo Geter, Fred Applegate, James Avery and John Kassir.

The radio station in the series was partially based on KCRW in Santa Monica, California.^[1] Ted Costas was modeled on Tom Schnabel,^[4] and was the host of a morning radio show, Long Day's Journey into Lunch, which was based on Morning Becomes Eclectic.^[4]

The show initially ran for five weeks as a summer series in 1989, premiering on August 17 in Dear John's regular Thursday night time slot following Cheers before moving to Wednesday nights for four more weeks.^[3] It then returned as a midseason replacement in 1990, airing eight more episodes between March 28 and June 28.^[1] The series was not renewed for a second season.
