Rags to Riches

Rags to Riches is an American musical comedy drama series that was broadcast on NBC for two seasons from 1987 to 1988. It was set in the 1960 and from what I remember it was just "Annie" time 5. The series tells the story of Nick Foley, a self-made millionaire who adopts five orphan girls. I don't know why it was so popular to adopt girls in the 80's but if it worked for Punky Brewster. The girls would sings songs in between the story lines. All I really remember is watching this one girl sneaks out and use her flashlight for a microphone. Promoted with the tagline, "If you liked Annie, you'll like Rags to Riches", ratings for the series were not strong enough for its Friday night time slot, and NBC canceled the show part way through its second season.
