Step by Step is an American television sitcom which aired on ABC from September 20, 1991 to August 15, 1997 and with a network change moved to CBS from September 19, 1997 to June 26, 1998. The series stars Patrick Duffy and Suzanne Somers as the heads of a large stepfamily. The show was a part of ABC's TGIF lineup from 1991 until 1997 before moving to the CBS Block Party lineup from 1997–1998. The premise of the show, set in Port Washington, Wisconsin, is about re-building one's life one step at a time after things have fallen apart. Frank Lambert, a divorced contractor with three... children, impulsively marries Carol Foster , a widowed beautician who has three children of her own. Both of them were residents of Port Washington, and the two met while vacationing separately in Jamaica. In the pilot episode, Frank mentions that he "followed" Carol to Jamaica after speaking with her travel agent, Velma. Their children were surprised and angered when they learned of the marriage. The title of the show has a double meaning. One meaning deals with the main idea of the show, which is getting re-married after the divorce/death of a spouse, and putting your life back together.
