ONE DAME AT A TIME

ONE DAY AT A TIME
CBS 1975-1984

We have a royal flush here. A TV show that's been parodied by MAD, Cracked, Crazy, and Sick.

Long-running sitcom chronicling a single mother and her two teenage daughters that went through many changes over its nine years and was rebooted with a Latino cast, but we're only concertrating on its first two seasons.

Annie Romano (Bonnie Franklin) was raising Julie (Mackenzie Phillips) and Barbara (Valerie Bertinelli) in an apartment in Indianapolis.

Dwayne Schneider (Pat Harrington) is the handyman of the apartment building that shows up just because every sitcom needs someone like that.

Later they had the neighbor Ginny Wroblicki (Mary Louise Wilson).

Annie's ex-husband David (Richard Masur) occasionally appeared on the show.

While Cracked sometimes did parodies that were more like fan fiction, Sick's parodied were more often more like excuses to draw scantily-clad women. Another entry in the "did they even see the show?" department.
