Another Day (TV series)

Another Day is an American sitcom television series starring David Groh and Joan Hackett that aired for four episodes on CBS from April 8 to April 29, 1978.

Synopsis

Don Gardner is a rather traditional middle-class man who wants to support his family on his income alone. The Gardners finances, however, dictate that his wife Ginny also take a job, although even with her working full-time there never seems to be enough money to make ends meet. Don and Ginny have two children; teenaged Kelly is their uninhibited and outgoing daughter and 12-year-old Mark is their shy son. Dons complaining mother, Olive, lives with the family and spends most of her time criticizing everyone around her. The Gardners struggle to be a normal, middle-class family, but Olive and the children always manage to make life complicated.
