Remember TV show He/She? With Richard Bejamin and Paula Prentiss? IIRC in 70s

I really liked it but remembered Timothy Hutton as He

Maybe because he was paired with Paula in movie Where the Boys Are

From bits I watched on YouTube show was not near as fun as I remembered

Isn't that often the case?
