The show aired from October 9, 1977, until April 30, 1978.[1]

Cast

Production

On Our Own was shot at CBS studios in Manhattan and edited at Unitel. The editor was Frank Herold. The show was videotaped on location in New York in front of a live audience, which was unusual for a show of its genre during the late 1970s, as most sitcoms were taped in Hollywood.
