Title card.

Status: Partially Found

Baby Makes Five was a short-lived sitcom that ran in April 1983 created by Sy Rosen and starring Peter Scolari, replacing Benson as a try-out show for the spring season. Its five episodes were filmed in front of a live audience. The first episode did reasonably well in the Nielsen ratings, ranking 23rd and winning its time slot, but each episode after fell in the rankings and it was not picked up after the initial five episodes. Since this initial run, it does not appear to have ever aired again and has never been available to stream or to purchase.|

It was produced by Alan Landsburg Productions and Mort Lachman & Associates, both of which are defunct and no longer producing material.

Premise

Accountant Eddie Riddle was the young husband who found his family growing faster than expected - his wife Jennie was about to give birth to twins to add to the three small children already creating havoc in their household. [1]

Availability

The exact premises for each episode are only known through a book called "Forgotten Laughs: An Episode Guide to 150 TV Sitcoms You Probably Never Saw" which bases its descriptions off of final script drafts. [2]
