Did You Know?
Trivia | Fred Gwynne was originally cast to play Henry but backed out when, in an audition for the role of Henry P. Warnimont, he was identified as Herman Munster, which was his role on The Munsters (1964). See more » |
Goofs | During the opening credits you will occasionally see palm tree reflections in the windows. The series is set in Chicago, so that would be highly unlikely. See more » |

Quotes |
Theme Song:
Maybe the world is blind / Or just a little unkind. Don't know / Seems you can't be sure, of anything any more / Although, you may be lonely and then / One day you're smiling again / Every time I turn around, I see the girl that turns my world around / Standing there / Every time I turn around / Her spirit's lifting me right off the ground / What's gonna be? / Guess we'll just wait and see.
