Step By StepStep by Step is a television sitcom which was aired on ABC from 1991 to 1997 and CBS from 1997 to 1998. The show stars Patrick Duffy of Dallas, Suzanne Somers of Three's Company, and Staci Keanan of My Two Dads. The premise of the show, which is set in the factual city of Port Washington, Wisconsin, is about rebuilding one's life after things have fallen apart one step at a time. The series show all the funny situations that happen when the Fosters and the Lamberts become one family in a similar way as The Brady Bunch. The title of the show has a double meaning. One meaning deals with main idea of the show, which is getting married again after a divorce and putting your life back together. The other meaning is that every member of the family is step to half of the rest of the family, such as step brother, step mother, step sister, step father, step daughter, and step son. The show lasted for seven seasons and the main cast changed as the storyline progressed. For example, The Lamberts' cousin Cody, who became a major character (ala Steve Urkel) during the show's second season, leaving the family to travel the world and J.T.'s friend Rich Halke living with the family after becoming Dana's boyfriend. There was no official series finale since the show was cancelled one season after moving it to CBS. Cast Trivia - The Bakers (Carol's sister and mother) from the first season were written out because of a focus groups findings about the audience interest in those two characters.
- Cody, played by Sasha Mitchell, was written out of the show because Disney (owners of ABC) wanted to distance themselves from the arrest of Mitchell on domestic violence charges by his domestic partner.
- As the seasons progressed, the theme song becomes shorter. By the sixth season, the theme song was completely scrapped. However, when the show was moved to CBS for its final season the opening theme song was back with new scenes for the opening credits.
