A remarkable metamorphosis occurred in The Baxters, written by Karen Kingsbury. Originally airing from 1979 to 1980 as a sitcom, the first run was cut short due to low ratings. The story was reimagined for Canadian audiences when filming was moved to Toronto and new performers were hired.
The 10-episode revival on Amazon Prime Video marks the show’s return after more than 40 years, bringing with it some fresh plot points and technological advancements.
