Together We Stand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Together We Stand, also known as Nothing Is Easy, was an American television series on the CBS network from 1986 to 1987. It was written by Stephen Sustarsic and directed by Andrew D. Weyman.
Together We Stand was about a married couple, David (Elliot Gould) and Lori Randall (Dee Wallace Stone), and their array of adopted children from all walks of life, was pulled by CBS after six episodes. For starters, CBS decided to air the episodes out of order. For example, the second episode produced was aired sixth. Secondly, despite airing only five episodes, CBS shifted Together We Stand around to three different timeslots. As a result, viewers were understandably confused.
It returned three months later with a new title -- Nothing Is Easy -- new opening credits, a new theme song, and a new cast member (Julia Migenes as bitter, divorced neighbor Marion Simmons). By this time, time Elliot Gould had left the revamped series and his character was in return, killed off in an automobile accident.
According to producer Sherwood Schwartz, the plot for this show was originally written as a spin-off for The Brady Bunch called Kelly's Kids. In the January 4, 1974 episode of The Brady Bunch the Brady's neighbors plan on adopting one child but end up adopting three boys, all of different ethnicities.
