The only genuine thing about this series, is that it takes place not in L.A but in Frisco. That's all. The stories here are son predictable, so run on the mill schemes, with foreseeable and cheesy endings, for the whole family. I watch it again ONLY to see supporting characters who will be famous later. It is sooo boring. That's my own opinion. But as far as I love seventies atmospheres and settings, that's why I proceed in that comfortable torture.
