Rocky Road

I was thinking for a long time that maybe I made this show up. I was just 5 when this show was on, but I still have a memory of it. I remember an episode where one of the female characters was injured or not feeling well or maybe the younger kids wanted something... but anyway they were using pillows to try to make her comfortable by elevated her head and feet and went overboard with it.. practically bending her in half. Anyone else remember this? Or am I crazy?

I would really love to watch this show again now that I'm older and can really enjoy it. Right now I'm re watching Charles In Charge.

I can't help it. I get nostalgic for my childhood. One day I may even watch Punky Brewster and Mr. Belvedere again. lol

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.

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.

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'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?
