Our House

By Wikipedia

Our House was a family-oriented drama which ran early on Sunday evening on NBC from 1986 to 1988. It starred Wilford Brimley as Gus Witherspoon, a retired widower who allows his daughter-in-law Jessica (played by Deidre Hall) and her children to move in with him after Gus's son died.

Gus became a new father figure to Jessica's children, Kris (Shannen Doherty), David (Chad Allen), and Molly (Keri Houlihan). This show was intended for family viewing, and as such, had a moral lesson for the family to learn each week. In one episode, the family shunned modern appliances for one weekend, only for David and Kris to break their vows by watching impending news of nuclear war with the Soviet Union from a television shop window.
