This was a locally produced show that may have been the inspiration for "Cheers". "The Baxters" was another such show produced by BBI. This is the source of WCVB's reputation for quality programming and community commitment.

I have to admit I was too old to pay attention at the time, so does anyone know if this was the Frank Avruch syndicated series, the 1976 syndicated Bozo from Detroit or produced locally?

And the only one (that I know of) to have gone national, with Norman Lear's help. The national version lasted two seasons -- first season (1979-1980) taped in Hollywood, with Anita Gilette being the only "name" celebrity (as matriarch Nancy Baxter); and the second season (1980-1981) taped in Toronto, with a completely different set of actors, and a completely different set of Baxters (Megan Follows, who was 10 year old Lucy Baxter in this series, went on to become "Anne of Green Gables").
