HI there...first time posting here...I hope someone can help.

My friend gave me a description of a tv show and I can't for the LIFE of me figure out what the heck he's talking about.

The show was a 1/2 hour sitcom in the 90's...maybe on FOX. It was about a professional northern man with two kids who hires a southern nanny with 3 kids. He says the show focused on the nanny's oldest daughter. Other things he thinks he remembers are: The Man's daughter was a bit trashy, the nanny's kids may be MOLLY and CHUCKIE..

Hope someone can help IF this is a real show...I consider my self a tv junkie but this has me stumped! I hate mysteries

)

THANK YOU!

From your description it sounds like Almost Home (originally called The Torkelsons, retitled Almost Home in February 1993). It ran on NBC from 1991-1993.

There were kids named Chuckie Lee Torkelson and Molly Morgan.

It's been aired on the Disney Channel in recent years I believe..

Internet Movie Database entry - http://us.imdb.com/Title?0105939
