Another show I have no recollection of ever having existed. Granted, I have holes in my memory from then and didn't watch much first-run TV in the 90s, but something that was on almost as long as Seinfeld must have made some impact somewhere.

The premise of two divorced and/or widowed parents had been done many times before, and here's yet another one. Like the intro to this said, the two main parents were Frank Lambert (Patrick Duffy) and Carol Foster (Suzanne Somers). Frank's children are John (Brandon Call), Alicia (Christine Lakin), and Brendan (Josh Byrne). Carol's were Dana (Staci Keenan), Karen (Angela Watson), and Mark (Christopher Castile).

'Frank' changes to 'Freak' here.

Cody (Sasha Mitchell) was the older nephew in the basement.
