Trivia
Stephen Tobolowsky would star in another show about a young woman living on her own for the first time in her own apartment; Single White Female. But that was a thriller; not a feminist sitcom; and he was one of the villains in that; not one of the heroes like in One Day. Infact Tobolowsky is known for villain roles; he played a villainous predatory role on Glee also. One Day might be his first and only sympathetic character.

Every once in a while a sitcom comes around that really catches audiences attention. I think One Day at a Time is one that's really needed at this point in time. I was raised with a mix of Puerto Rican and Dominican culture and I grew up with a lot of the same customs used in this show. I think the characters are relatable regardless of race or ethnicity and a lot of the issues surrounding them are broad and multicultural. Sure it has its cliché moments, but what's a sitcom without them. I would be really disappointed if Netflix were to cancel this one. Regardless of who watches it, I believe everyone can find something in it that's relatable to their own lives. It's a win for me.
