Day by Day is an American sitcom starring Douglas Sheehan, Linda Kelsey, Christopher Daniel Barnes, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Courtney Thorne-Smith , and Thora Birch . Day by Day was telecast from February 29, 1988, through June 25, 1989, on NBC. The show centers on Brian and Kate Harper, a married couple with two successful careers and a teenage son named Ross. After the couple had a second child, their daughter, Emily, they decided to quit their jobs because they had missed all the best times of Ross growing up and wasn't going to make the same mistake with Emily. With that thought in mind,... they decided to open a day care center in their home. The episodes mixed stories about the day care center with those about Ross and his friends. At first, Ross wasn't too enthused with the idea of his father and mother being at home all the time running the day care center, because he loved his independence and girl-chasing, and was more than a bit put out with all the bonding his dad wanted to do now.
