In the late 80’s early 90’s there was this television show that I think was on our local PBS affiliate.

It was about a family, and some kids, and the school and classmates of the kids. I don’t recall much else about the storyline.

What I _do_ recall, was that everyone in the show was played by kids - including all the adults - the parents, the teachers at the school, etc.

The other odd thing about this show was that the Sets were really inexspensive. For example, I remember the Kitchen set where the kid actors would often hang out. Instead of a real refrigerator, there was one painted on the Set’s wall.

Does anyone remember what this was called?

You’re much more likely to get a decent reply to questions about television in [Cafe Society](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=13), so I’ll move this thread for you.
