    • Trivia
      The series is remembered for its concluding scene in the final episode. The characters are in an airport, and Peter, the lead, is departing for a two year business trip abroad and leaving the kids with Dora. But then he returns and says that it's been canceled. Dora asks if he means the flight, and he replies that the series is canceled. The camera immediately pulls back to reveal the stage and studio audience, and the cast takes a bow.
