A gentle mix of humor and drama about a Norwegian-American clan in the early 20th century. The mainstay of the series (set in San Francisco) was the warm, resourceful matriarch, who held on to old-world traditions while adjusting to new ways. Based on the popular play and movie called 'I Remember Mama,' the program was canceled from prime time, then---because of viewer response---returned to the air, albeit for a short daytime run.
