Glitter was an ABC drama series that aired from 1984 to 1985. Aaron Spelling's series "Glitter" was set behind the scenes of a leading entertainment magazine and aimed to merge the urgency of journalism and business politics with the luxurious lifestyles of the rich and famous shown on the magazine's pages. David Birney, Morgan Brittany, and Arthur Hill played the key roles. The concept of the series was comparable to two other popular ABC shows produced by Aaron Spelling: The Love Boat and Hotel, in that it featured high-profile celebrity guest appearances each week, such Ginger Rogers and Cyd Charisse. Glitter, unlike the other series, was not a ratings hit. The first three episodes aired in September1984, followed by a hiatus until December1984, when three more episodes were broadcast. The series was canceled as the ratings did not improve. The final eight episodes aired on ABC late-night in December 1985. Glitter was distributed internationally despite its lack of success in the United States. In the summer of1985, it was broadcast on BBC1.
