Rocky Road

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.

I remember watching this show on Superstation WTBS (now just TBS). I use to watch it after school. The biggest things I remember about it was that there was a big cast change and the cop guy started having a crush on the woman running the ice cream shop who replaced another woman. There was also an episode where a girl had to eat a whole bottle of ketchup. It would be nice to be able to see these shows again. I miss my childhood. This was also back in the time when TBS use to start all of their shows five minutes past the hour or half hour. The other show that use to be shown with this one on TBS was "Down to Earth" that featured Dick Sargent of Bewitched fame.

I've talked about this show so many times and my husband says he has never heard of it or a couple of other shows that i use to love. I was beginning to think i just imagined it. Rocky Road, Down to Earth and there was another show- Rags to Riches- not sure what channel that show was on though. But i loved watching these shows! Good family friendly shows that made people laugh and also had a message behind it. I wish they would show re-runs of some of these old shows. Is there any way to request that? Maybe they could at least run a few episodes and see if people will tune in. I know i would! Does anyone know if any of these shows were ever available on VHS or DVD?

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 am so thankful for the information on this website. I have found no other site that mentions the show "Rocky Road." For a while, I thought I'd just made it up in my imagination, but I'm glad to know otherwise. I won't summarize, because the previous comment did that very well, but I do remember a woman on the show named Sandy (long curly blonde hair) who was not mentioned. So far as I know, the show has never been syndicated, although I'd be so grateful if it were.
