SEASONS FOUR AND FIVE

Doris is a single woman , living in San Francisco and working for the magazine. I don't know that many shows just drop the kids. Family Matters back in the nineties quietly dropped the youngest child and the Torkelsons lost one of the kids along the way also. But Doris got rid of all the kids. (there was one mention of them moving to farm) the only other show that comes to mind is the Lucy show, she has a son and daughter but when she moved to California, they disappeared.

Jackie Joseph as Jackie Parker (friend to Doris)
