Content

Rags To Riches is a musical comedy drama series that was broadcast on NBC for two seasons from 1987 to 1988. Set in the early 1960s, the series starred Joseph Bologna as Nick Foley, a businessman with a playboy lifestyle. In an attempt to develop a family man image, he decides to take in a group of six orphaned girls, moving them into his mansion in Bel Air, which he shares with his butler Clapper (Douglas Seale). Foley's original plans change when he grows fond of the girls and ends up adopting them. The show was different from the regular comedy-drama in that the cast would often burst into song to help explain their feelings or move along the plot. The songs the cast sang would frequently be covers of various hits from the 1960s. Promoted with the tagline, "If you liked Annie, you'll like Rags to Riches", ratings for the series were not strong enough for its Friday night time slot, and NBC canceled part way through its second season. The show has remained largely un-aired since that time. * Appeared in pilot only
