I would love one of the networks to produce a comedy along the lines of Hey Dad! but be a single mother trying to balance home life and running a small business. There would be opportunities for misunderstandings and misjudgments. Julie McGregor might be a good possibility for the single mother role (or someone similar in nature). I know the whole Hey Dad! concept could be a little tarnished but I think if its only loosely based on it, it could work for ABC
