Mild-mannered divorced veterinarian James Shepherd (Bill Daily) and his two teenagers – Kate (Heidi Helmer) and Robbie (Jason Marin) – face the return of eccentric ex-wife Helen DeAngelo (Connie Stevens), who has left her wealthy new husband, Frank (Carmine Caridi).
The series failed to find a substantial audience and was cancelled after a single season of 22 episodes.
Despite its failure in the US, the concept was adapted the following year in the UK when ITV produced a remake titled Close to Home starring Paul Nicholas and Angharad Rees.
