Something So Right is an American sitcom television series which ran on two different networks during its time on the air.

Contents

Something So Right starred Mel Harris as Carly Davis, a twice-divorced party planner who had married Jack Farrell (Jere Burns), a divorced English teacher. They had three children, one from each of their former marriages.

This program premiered on NBC on September 17, 1996, hammocked between the Top 30 hit Mad About You and the Top 20 hit Frasier ; the hammocking effort did not work, and was canceled the following spring after finishing the season in 39th place with a 9.5 rating. [1] It was picked up as a midseason replacement on ABC the next year, running until July 7, 1998, finishing its second season in 56th place with an 8.2 rating. [2]
