Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
One of the few '90s family sitcoms to center economic struggle without poverty tourism—Millicent's inventions and constant job-hustling felt lived-in, not punchlined.
Season 2 was retooled as Almost Home, moved the family to Seattle, added a new stepfather, and killed the show—making the original 20 episodes cult precious.
