A by-the-book TV Single Dad show, except Dad isn’t fabulously wealthy. Rather, he’s a salaried assistant to a pompous boss, and trying to manage his time between his daughter and his obnoxious overlord. Yes, the scripts write themselves, but after six decades of these kinds of shows, it’s exactly what the audience is expecting.
Eighteen episodes were ordered for the show, but the show was canceled with only fifteen produced episodes.
