Taglines
- A mother who's trying to double as father. Two headstrong daughters. A series of the world's least likely (and most amorous) men. The result is a bubbling mixture of small chuckles and big laughs that just won't quit. (season 1)

Trivia
The premise for this show (a family led by a single working mom) was inspired by actress, writer, and single mom, Whitney Blake. One of Blake's children, Meredith Baxter, would go on to play a sitcom mom on Family Ties (1982).

Goofs
It's clear that the external shot of the the building where Ann Romano and her daughters live does not match up with interior set used during the series. The Spanish style windows do not match up with the windows shown inside the apartment, for example.

Quotes
Ann Romano Royer: That Was BVD.
Ed Cooper, Julie's and Barbara's Father: BVD?
Ann Romano Royer: Before Vicky, Darling.

Bonnie Franklin is just a horrible actress

I use to watch this when it was on TV. Recently its back on LOGO so I have been catching up on it. I forgot had bad Bonnie Franklin was in this show! Valerie Bertinelli was the reason I watched this show back when it was on she is still good in this show. They should have replaced the Bonnie Franklin with someone else.
