Rocky Road

"Rocky Road" was a television sitcom about a family-run ice cream parlor on the beach. The parents, who owned the parlor, had recently died, and their three children inherited and ran the parlor. The three kids (the eldest daughter, the middle son, and the youngest daughter)all lived above the ice cream shop. The plot lines generally revolved around family relations and random funny things that happened around the parlor.

I can remember the theme song to this show. Its about siblings that live and run an ice cream shop on the beach after their parents die. My favorite character was the older sister and I remember writing her a fan letter and sending it to the show. She did write back and sent an autographed picture of herself and had drawn a a picture of an ice cream cone on it. I kept it for a long time but it has disappeared over the years. I wish I still had it. I looked forward to watching the show everyday after school.I am so happy to see Rocky Road is on here and that others remember it. I finally have proof to show my husband and friends that I am not crazy and this show DID exist.

The show originally starred Maylo McCaslin playing the role of the big sister along with Lily Moon as the younger sister. During the 2nd season Desiree Boschetti replaced her and Marcianne Warman replaced Lily Moon. In the 4th season is when Lewis Arquette and Sandy (Jim Menza) who played the cop was replaced by a man and his son who bought Lewis Arquette's Bait shop. Georg Olden played Robbi the brother and Kelly Ann Conn as (cant remember her name) the blonde sexy woman through the life of the show. The show aired on TBS and was produced by the Arthur Company (Arthur Annechario) who also produced the Munsters Today (remember that?) Safe at Home & Down to Earth were all produced by this company. During the later episodes of Down to Earth, this was taken over by Proctor & Gamble.

I think I am the one and only person that remembers this television show. I remember recording this show after we got our first VCR. I liked the whole beach/ice cream parlor theme as a 8 year old. I even remember the Beach Boys sounding theme song. I wish these old shows were still in reruns when I start reminiscing.

TBS used to have a whole lineup of this type show. They came on in the afternoons from about 4 to 5 o'clock.Does anyone remember the names of any of the others? I can remember what a few of them were about but I don't remember the names of them. One was about the spirit of a lady from the 1920's who took care of a family from the 80's. She was like their maid or something. Another one had a bachelor who took his teenage sister in after their parents passed away. My sister and I watched these shows everyday when we were kids. I was glad to see someone other than me remembers them. I would like to watch them now. I'll bet that they are pretty corny, but everything seems better if it's part of your childhood I guess.
