Flipping through the channels one day, I "accidentally" came across this movie. I kept watching, more out of boredom than anything else. I got engrossed in the movie, as a laid-off husband would do watching a soap opera everyday. I'm not a big fan of Alan Alda or Ellen Burstyn, but they have good chemistry together. It was interesting seeing the changes in both of them through the years. I think the changes in personality, beliefs and clothing styles kept me interested in "Same Time, Next Year". It's a bit of a under rated movie, but entertaining nontheless.
