Domestic Life is an American sitcom that aired on CBS from January 4 to April 15, 1984. Steve Martin served as executive producer.

Premise

Martin Crane moved to Seattle, Washington to take a commentator job at KMRT-TV. His spot on the station's evening news was called "Domestic Life". Others in the cast were Martin's wife Cindy, his 15-year-old daughter Didi, and 10-year-old son Harold.

Production notes

There were many unintentional similarities between Domestic Life and Frasier which premiered nine years later. Both series had a character named Martin Crane, were set in Seattle, and featured a radio program.[1]
