    I loved this show during its original airing and now on streaming platforms. I always felt I could SEE myself and my childhood in each episode. Come to find out, I was born and raised in the city the shows is based on … Jasper, IN. it is such a wholesome show. A friend of mine would watch it with her twin boys and her husband as a family unit.
