If the little boy had been a little girl?


If the little boy character had been a little girl, what different things could have been explored?

What would it have been like if he had been a little girl in a pretty dress?

I'm just interested in seeing how old sitcoms could have been different if there hadn't been boy children.

I'm just trying to start a discussion.

There was a series in '80 that never took off called "Me and Maxx" which was produced by the same guy who produced Eddie's Father: James Komack, who also played Uncle Norman (Maxx is actually the name of his actual daughter) Chances are it would have been a lot like that. It was about a single dad whose daughter was always trying to set him up. I only have vague memories of the series, and haven't seen any footage of it in, well, thirty odd years.

Gidget
Blossom
My Two Dads
Bachelor Father (niece and uncle relationship)

Then it would have been "the Courtship of CAITLIN's Father"

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.
