- Raising Miranda
"Raising Miranda" was a
television series aired onCBS in 1988 as part of its fall lineup."Raising Miranda" was the story of Donald Marshack (
James Naughton ), aRacine, Wisconsin contractor who suddenly found himself a single parent when his wife Bonnie had abandoned him and their 15 year old daughter, Miranada (Royana Black), in order to go and "find herself". Despite this rather grim premise, the show was billed as asituation comedy , the humor being derived from undomestic Donald now being forced to serve as both father and mother to a teenage girl.Audiences apparently found the premise a little too grim and the program lasted only two months.
