If most of the show took place in the OTHER mom's house, wouldn't the other mom be the OTHER mom then? Any idea who any of the actors were or plots or anything?
This is all I could find: Throb (1986-1988)
Not a good title for a TV sitcom.

Kate and Allie? With Jane Curtin (formerly of SNL) and Susan St. James (formerly of "The Name of the Game" and "McMillan and Wife"). "The Name of the Game" was a series where Gene Barry, Tony Franciosa and Robert Stack all played journalists and alternated episodes. Susan St. James played their girl Friday (Peggy?). I loved that show when it was on in the '60s. Had one of the best themes on TV, along with "It Takes a Thief" and "Ironside".
Does TV in the "00s" suck or what? When I think of all the great shows there used to be (add "Medical Center" with Chad Everett to the above), and compare them to the "reality" shows we have now, it makes me want to puke!
Oh! And don't forget the better British shows, like "Danger Man"/"Secret Agent", "The Avengers", "The Saint", and "The Prisoner", not to mention comedies like "Monty Python", "Doctor in the House", and "Fawlty Towers".

Mike, yes, as far as I know it was - two single mothers, each with a child, one of the mothers MOM #1 and her child spent more time at Mom #2 and her childs house - this seemed to be the focus for the whole series plot. It was definately NOT 'Kate And Allie'.....neither had Kids, were both pretty derisive individuals, and liked to DRINK lots of Booze if I recall. Not the ideal environment for Tv kids.

Not the ideal environment for Tv kids.Both Kate & Allie had kids. They lived in the same house though so that still doesn't fit your original description. Drawing a blank on anything else right now.

Beats the hell out of me, Kev...but I'm sure a scholar on our board will come up with the answer. BTW, how's life in the UK these days?

Ever notice how "The Golden Age Of Television" was the time when sponsors had the greatest control over program content?

Was it a comedy or drama??? Anyway I'm stumped, too. You can try looking on 80s.com it has a HUGE list of tv shows from the 80s in alphabetical order.
Can anyone help ? - Peter - 05-25-2004
Yeah, I'm stumped too. And Bluesman life in the UK goes on pretty much as before. Is that good or bad I wonder? Oh, except it's getting hotter.
Now that is good cos we can moan about it, just like we did when it was getting colder...
