Plot
Adam Bonner was a young assistant DA while his wife, Amanda Bonner, was a junior partner in a law firm. Their jobs often put them in conflict within the courtroom and, by extension, at home due to Amanda's crusade for women's rights.
Adam's Rib aired opposite The Brian Keith Show on NBC and the CBS Friday Night Movie. The trade publication Broadcasting described Adam's Rib as "a victim of feeble ratings".
