Early Jason Bateman plays a "criminally precocious" teenager, pulls his sister into innumerable stunts under his busy single mother's nose, but the single guy across the hall always knows what's going on.

It was a brilliant show in 1984, only ran one season. But the kicker is that the last episode I saw was part one of a two parter, and part two of that one was not shown at its regular day and time, being interrupted by baseball or some shit. Next week, still didn't play. I didn't find out till way later that they did eventually broadcast it, but it was on a completely different day and time, and there wasn't really any way to find out about that because the printed TV schedules had already gone out and didn't include it.

It was pre-empted by Reagan making a speech. My best friend at the time and I loved that show. We would imitate Eli operating "The Dregs of Humanity" to crack each other up.
