The wife and daughters take the surname. Producer Schwartz wanted Carol to have been a divorcée but the network objected to this. A compromise was reached whereby no mention was made of the circumstances in which Carol's first marriage ended, but many assume she was widowed. The newly formed juvenile sextet, parents Carol and Mike, Mike's live-in housekeeper Alice (Ann B. Davis), and the boys' dog Tiger settle into a large, suburban home designed by Mike. Though the show presumably takes place in Los Angeles, the writers carefully avoid any mention of the shows actual location during the series.
