On this day May 8, 1988, the final episode of Our House aired, bringing the heartfelt family drama to a close after two seasons and 46 episodes. The show starred Wilford Brimley as a stern but loving grandfather who takes in his widowed daughter in law and her three children, including a young Shannon Doherty, after the death of his son.
Our House focused on multigenerational family life and tackled emotional themes with sincerity and warmth. Though it never became a ratings giant, it developed a loyal audience and was remembered for its strong performances and touching stories.
Fun fact: This was one of Shannon Doherty’s earliest television roles, just a few years before her breakout on Beverly Hills, 90210.
