Just Friends, billed as Stockard Channing in Just Friends on the title card, is an American sitcom television series that aired on CBS from March 4, 1979 to June 24, 1979.

Stockard Channing, an accomplished stage actress who had entered the national consciousness with her role as Betty Rizzo in Grease a year prior, was the lead. Gerrit Graham, Mimi Kennedy, Lou Crisculo and Sydney Goldsmith co-starred with her on the series.

A year after Just Friends had ended, Channing starred in her self-titled The Stockard Channing Show. Ostensibly, the two series were set in different fictional universes with different character names but were largely identical in premise, with an identical home set, with Channing speaking in interviews as if the two shows were two seasons of the same series.[1]
