Run of the House is an American sitcom television series created by Betsy Thomas that aired on the WB between September 11, 2003, and May 7, 2004. Nineteen episodes were produced, but only sixteen were aired before the show was canceled. The show was about a family of four siblings whose parents moved from Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Arizona because the weather would be better there for their father's health, but they left the mostly grown children to stay in their old house and look after themselves, with the 3 eldest siblings also having to deal with raising their 15-year-old sister, Brooke. There is also a nosy neighbor named Mrs. Norris who often pops in unannounced to check up on them. [1]
