Question
Hi, I am trying to figure out the name of an 80's tv show. All I can remember about it is 2 mothers and their children, being two girls and boy, live in the same house together. I remember a staircase and one of the girls bedrooms. I know this isn't much information but I am dying to figure out what the show's name is. Can you Help me???

Answer
Sue, I'm not positive, since I didn't watch the show, but you might be thinking of "Kate and Allie", a comedy on the CBS Television network from 1984 to 1989..

The show starred Susan St. James as Kate McArdle, a divorced mother with a daughter, Emma (Ari Myers); and Jane Curtin as Allie Lowell, a divorced mother with 2 kids, Jennie (Allison Smith) and Chip (Frederick Koehler)...

Kate and Allie are life-long friends who now share an apartment in Greenwich Village to save on expenses...

I hope this answers your query !!!

Take Care,
Mike

I will try and answer all questions dealing with television...show names, plots, actors, roles, networks, etc...US shows primarily; not real knowledgeable on TV from other countries...I lean heavily into past, more so than current, television...and, my knowledge dealing with "reality" shows is limited, due to the fact that I really can't stand the genre (my apologies to all the "Reality" fans out there...)
