Love and Marriage is an American situation comedy television series starring Anthony Denison and Patricia Healy as a New York working couple trying to raise a family. The series premiered September 28, 1996 on Fox as the first series created by Amy Sherman-Palladino (before her marriage to Daniel Palladino), who would later go on to create Gilmore Girls and Bunheads. The show was canceled after two episodes.
Jack, who manages a parking garage by day, and his wife April, who works nights waitressing in a Manhattan restaurant, barely have any time to spend together, or with their three children Michael, Gemmy and Christopher. Louis and Trudy, and son Max, are their new neighbors from New Rochelle, New York.

Howard Rosenberg of the Los Angeles Times called the series "another routine sitcom", which revolves around a "noisy family". Steven Linan, also of the Los Angeles Times, said the "uninspired sitcom could use further alterations in concept and scripts" since the show already had its title changed from Come Fly With Me.Tom Shales of The Washington Post was equally unimpressed and called the series "among the least amusing" of the new season. However, Tony Scott of Variety said "sharply written by creator Amy Sherman, directed expertly by Gail Mancuso, the Nardinis are people worth visiting". Scott further stated that the series "exudes joy, not cynicism, charm, not snideness".
