A middle-aged gay artist shares his New York apartment with a single mother and her little girl. Based on a short story written by Marilyn Cantor Baker, which was subsequently adapted into a TV movie entitled Sidney Shorr: A Girl's Best Friend. Love, Sidney was the first program on American television to feature a gay character as the central lead, although for the series, Sidney's homosexuality was almost entirely downplayed from its subtle yet unmistakable presence in the two-hour pilot.

An opera star agrees to perform at Patti's birthday party, mercifully replacing Sidney's terrible clown act.
Laurie and Patti move back in with Sidney when Laurie's marriage fails.
The trio are in danger of eviction when the building goes condo and the new rules limit occupancy to one family per unit.
