Classic 1970s sitcom focusing on an Indiana woman and her two daughters moving to Indianapolis to begin life anew after a rocky divorce, and the trials they face adjusting to new life. Oh, and their Casanova Wannabe super named Schneider joins in the wacky adventures.

The show is probably best remembered nowadays for its Ear Worm theme song, a preponderance of Very Special Episodes, and the offscreen travails of cast member Mackenzie Phillips.
