Step by Step (TV series)

The series was often described as a copy of The Brady Bunch because of its similar premise, and was otherwise ignored by critics after the pilot episode, which met with a consistently negative reception.It was filmed at the inland Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, with a coastline digitally superimposed onto its parking lot in aerial shots.[6] Ratings continued to decline despite the network change, and the show ended its run in June 1998 without an official series finale.[23] Reviews of the pilot episode were consistently negative, with Howard Rosenberg of the Los Angeles Times calling it "plain awful"[24] and Matt Roush of USA Today describing it as "demonically slick junk food";[25] other critics declared it to be the "worst" new show of the season.[26][27] It was frequently compared to Brooklyn Bridge, a critically acclaimed CBS series which premiered the same day, as representing the "worst" and "best" of television, respectively.[24][27][28] Variety's Jean Rosenbluth was more positive, calling it a "modestly amusing, occasionally heartwarming show" despite its "utter lack of originality",[3] and argued that while it wasn't comparable to Shakespeare, "neither was The Brady Bunch".[25] Rosenbluth described the children as a "well-cast lot", in particular singling out Keanan as the "most amusing";[3] her "wisecracking timing"[29] was commended by Ray Richmond of Knight-Ridder News Service,[29] who in addition forwarded the actress as the "best thing"[29] about the series, a sentiment echoed by Ron Weiskind of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,[30] who found her to be the only one who "shows any talent"[30] out of the cast.
