    1 9 8 7 – 1 9 8 8 (USA)
    26 x 30 minute episodes

    A large Victorian home in the New York borough of Staten Island was the setting for this multigenerational comedy about a family of eccentrics.

    Martin Vanderhof (Harry Morgan) was the patriarch of the clan, an independent curmudgeon who also served as the series’ narrator. A widower and retired advertising man, Martin lived with his bubbly, somewhat scatterbrained daughter, Penny (Lois Nettleton) – a freelance writer – and her family.

    That family consisted of Penny’s husband, Paul (Richard Sanders) – an eccentric inventor of toys, with no apparent regular source of income; their idealistic teenage daughter, Essie (Heather Blodgett); and their older daughter, Alice (Lisa Aliff), who worked for a Manhattan brokerage firm.

    Mr Pinner (Theodore Wilson) was a neighbour and friend who constructed prototypes for the toys Paul invented.

    Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning 1936 play of the same name written by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, which will be remembered long after this routine syndicated comedy is not.
