This is the first Starting from Scratch thread in our history. Not many people seem to remember it. There's not too much information online for it. Wikipedia doesn't have a page for it.

I remember watching it on one my local Atlanta stations, but I can't recall which one. I liked the show. I would like to see it again.

Bill Daily was good in it. The lovely Connie Stevens played his ex-wife. It also starred Nita Talbot, Jason Marin and Carmine Caridi (occasional).

I was sad to see that the daughter (Heidi Helmer Castino) died in 2010. She was only 45. She was very cute.

I watched WSBK often in the 1980s and 1990s and I do not remember seeing this show. I'd like to acquire the episodes if possible.

I don't have any, apart from a partial rerun from March 1989.

I'm not going to post the link here, but when I was looking this show up through Google, I noticed that over 11 years ago, footage from episode 6 ("James TV Debut") was uploaded. Unfortunately, only the final 11:29 minutes were made available and it was dubbed over in Spanish. This is likely, the closest thing that we can get to a "full" episode thus far. So this show might as well, be considered "lost media".

It's pretty unfortunate on Bill Daily's part because this was considered his first starring vehicle on a show, after playing supporting roles on I Dream of Jeannie and later, The Bob Newhart Show.
