OMG I've been wondering for years what this show was called! I used to watch it all the time when I was a kid. As soon as I saw the name I was like "that's it!" I'm so exited now, lol

The first season was called "The Torkelsons."

The second season, it was "re-tooled," dropping some of the characters and seeing the family move to Seattle, introducing some new characters and renaming the show "Almost Home."
