This is it. Thiiiiis is it. Or was it? The original 1975 sitcom One Day at a Time focused on a divorced Ann Romano raising two daughters in Indianapolis. Tackling issues ranging from teenage runaways, petty thieves, and the pressure of “going all the way” pushed the TV show into the “dramedy” realm and also kept it a hit for nine seasons. Over forty years later, in a world where half of all marriages ending up like Ann’s, does the show’s POV have anything more to offer? Could we see iconic stardom in the eyes of Valerie Bertinelli and Mackenzie Phillips way back when? And is an Ann & Schneider coupling a good idea? The Old Roommates watch a curated collection of Norman Lear’s classic while waiting for Julie to get off the phone.
