Going Places is an American sitcom that aired on ABC from September 21, 1990 until March 8, 1991. The show was created and executive produced by Robert Griffard and Howard Adler, and developed and executive produced by Thomas L. Miller and Robert L. Boyett. Going Places was produced by Miller-Boyett Productions in association with Lorimar Television.
The series was broadcast in Germany under the title Zwischen Couch und Kamera (Between Couch and Camera), airing on TV.München from 1993 to 1994.
Going Places has been described by media researchers Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh as American television's ultimate expression of navel-gazing, as it was a program written by young television comedy writers about the lives of young television comedy writers. It notably grouped four young stars, known for recent breakout roles in movies and television during the late 1980s, together as the leads: Alan Ruck, known for his role as Cameron Frye in Ferris Bueller's Day Off; Jerry Levine, who rose to prominence as Stiles in Teen Wolf and starred in the NBC series The Bronx Zoo; Hallie Todd, who played Penny Waters on the Showtime sitcom Brothers; and Heather Locklear, who became a sex symbol via her concurrent roles on Dynasty and T.J. Hooker.
