Rita was their friendly landlady, and Rudy her cop boyfriend.

User Reviews

This series was a bad influence on me

When this show first came on, my teen-aged cousin forced me to watch it so she could get her Bobby Sherman fix. I became fixated on the hearse they drove. When I later bought a hearse, I became a fixture in my town. Guess this series fixed me! Seriously, if you liked the Partridge Family (admit it, we all did), you'll probably like this one too, provided it ever gets dug out of the archives and put onto DVD. It's unlikely this will happen, though, it only ran for one season and in retrospect, it must have been pretty unsubstantial if the only thing I remember from the whole season was the cool hearse and my parents telling me that I'd never own one.
