Reception
Julio Martinez of Variety praised the series for having "a top-notch ensemble", but criticized it for not having "enough character substance and plot development to sustain one's interest in what's to follow". Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly was more negative on the series, criticizing "the show's lack of smolder, lack of lustiness, and lack of ability to carry off the affectionate parody of the pulp-novel genre". In 1994, a book authored by Vance Muse titled We Bombed in Burbank: A Joyride to Prime Time was published detailing the production of Black Tie Affair. ==References==
