...Honey, I'm Home represents a new trend in the TV industry: cooperation between those instinctive rivals, the broadcast networks and cable. The half- hour sitcom is being produced for ABC by Nickelodeon, the children's cable network (which will rerun the episodes on its Nick at Nite channel). The gimmick: a wholesome 1950s TV family materializes in 1991 New Jersey, where they find that their sweetness-and-light television fantasy life (which they can revert to by switching themselves into black and white) clashes with the real world of muggers, homeless people and feminist single mothers...

...team's newest Friday-night offering, Going Places (four perky twenty- somethings working on a TV show and sharing a house), ended its season's run earlier this month. But their CBS sitcom Family Man, about a fire fighter raising four kids, will return from hiatus later in the spring. And the duo is gearing up yet another family comedy for ABC in the fall, this one about two single-parent clans that move in together...
