Too Close For Comfort: Relive The 80s Sitcom & Where To Watch!
Could a seemingly simple family sitcom truly capture the essence of the 1980s and leave an indelible mark on a generation? "Too Close for Comfort," a series that premiered on the ABC network on November 11, 1980, did just that, becoming a memorable fixture in the lives of many.
The show, which was adapted from the British Thames Television sitcom "Keep It in the Family," provided a relatable portrayal of family dynamics, humor, and the evolving social landscape of the era. This adaptation took root in the American television scene, offering a familiar yet distinct perspective to its audiences. The original broadcast season saw a name change mid-run, becoming "The Ted Knight Show," a tribute to its leading star. Yet, in the annals of television history, reruns would forever enshrine it under its more common title: "Too Close for Comfort." The series provided audiences with a weekly dose of laughter, reflecting the spirit of a decade that was equally defined by its bright optimism and changing social norms.
