    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Although networks loved the pilot episode, executives feared there were just too many children in the cast. Thus, the character of Nina played by Heather McAdam was written out of the series by having her reunited with her birth mother.
    • Goofs
      Though the series is set in the year 1961, much of the clothes and accessories worn by the characters are clearly from the 1980s.

    Remember Baby Jessica
    I don't know how this is rated so high. The only thing I really remember about this show is how annoyed I was that they interrupted it for coverage of the Baby Jessica fiasco.

    Great memory 10/10.

    Otherwise, not very memorable. This might just be my finest review.

    It's my first one, so yeah.

    Why is there a 10 line minimum for reviews? Seems like being able to make them succinct isn't such a bad thing.

    Is it?

    You know what was even better than this show?

    Clarissa Explains It All.

    Loved that one.
