Just the Ten of Us is an American sitcom starring stand-up comedian Bill Kirchenbauer as Coach Graham Lubbock, a teacher and the head of a large Catholic family with eight children living in Eureka, California. The series is a spin-off of Growing Pains, in which Kirchenbauer portrayed the same character on a recurring basis. As the series progressed, Coach Lubbock's four eldest daughters, the teenagers Marie (Heather Langenkamp), Cindy (Jamie Luner), Wendy (Brooke Theiss), and Connie (JoAnn Willette), became the primary focus of the show.
Just the Ten of Us ran on ABC as a part of ABC's early TGIF programming block, starting with a trial run from April 26 to May 17, 1988. After the first four episodes in an abbreviated first season were broadcast, it was renewed for two more seasons and eventually ended thereafter on May 4, 1990. 47 episodes were produced.
