Classic 1970s sitcom created by [[Norman Lear]], 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 Episode
