  One Day at a Time is an American sitcom that aired on CBS from
  December 16, 1975, until May 28, 1984. It starred Bonnie Franklin as a
  divorced mother raising two teenage daughters, played by Mackenzie
  Phillips and Valerie Bertinelli, in Indianapolis.
  
  
  Background
  
  
  The series was created by Whitney Blake and Allan Manings, a
  husband-and-wife writing duo who were both actors in the 1950s and
  1960s. The series was based on Whitney Blake's own life as a single
  mother, raising her three children (Including future actress Meredith
  Baxter) after her divorce from her first husband.[1]
  
  Plot
  
  
  Ann Romano, a divorced mother, moves from their home in Logansport,
  Indiana to Indianapolis with her daughters, the rebellious Julie and the
  wisecracking Barbara. Ann frequently struggles with maintaining her
  role as mother while affording her daughters the freedom she never had
  as a young woman. David Kane, Ann's divorce lawyer and neighbor, takes a
  romantic interest in her, but she isn't ready to remarry. Dwayne
  Schneider, the building's quirky superintendent (most often referred to
  only by his last name), provides usually unwanted advice to the tenants.
  
  
  After David takes a job in Los Angeles, the focus squarely rests on
  Ann's dilemmas as a single mother and career woman as well as the girls'
  growing pains, with Schneider becoming a more welcomed part of the
  family. Ann's strained relationship with her ex-husband Ed slowly mends,
  as does the girls' relationship with his new wife, Vickie. Julie and
  Barbara advance through high school and into the working world, and
  Julie eventually marries flight attendant Max Horvath. Alex, the
  orphaned son of Ann's deceased boyfriend, moves in, changing the
  dynamics in the female-dominated apartment. Later in the series run,
  Julie gives birth to a daughter, "Little Annie" Horvath, Barbara marries
  dental student Mark Royer, and Ann's mother Katherine moves nearby.
  
  
  In the penultimate episode, Ann decides to take a job in London,
  leaving her daughters in Indianapolis to raise families of their own. In
  the series finale, Schneider also leaves town, moving to Florida to
  take care of his niece and nephew.
  
  Production
  
  
  For its entire run, the series was taped in Hollywood before a studio
  audience. Originally, it was taped at CBS Television City. Shortly
  after its premiere, the series began taping at Metromedia Square, where
  it remained until 1982. From 1982 to 1984, the series was taped at
  Universal Studios Hollywood.
  
  
  Like many sitcoms developed by Norman Lear, One Day at a Time often
  tackled serious issues in life and relationships, particularly those
  related to second wave feminism. Stories depicting such events as
  weddings, births, and other important milestones frequently stretched
  over two-, three-, and four-part episodes.
  
  Theme song and opening credits
  
  
  The theme song for One Day at a Time, "This is It", was composed by
  Brill Building songwriter Jeff Barry and his wife Nancy Barry, and
  performed by recording artist Polly Cutter. The opening credits were
  originally seen over a filmed sequence showing Ann, Julie, and Barbara
  excitedly moving into their new home. Later, the opening credits
  sequence mostly consisted of clips of each cast member taken from
  previous episodes.
