I am a 50 year old guy in the US who isn't used to these forums - I'm not even sure I'm doing this right.
Anyway, back somewhere between 1985 and 1988 I lived in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA and the public TV station there showed a lot of great British Sitcoms like Good Neighbors and To The Manor Born, etc. We have enjoyed these for years.
However, I cannot remember the name of one show and it's driving me crazy.
The plot is: a middle aged couple has three grown kids that either don't leave the house or keep moving back in - frustrating their dad to no end. The older daughter is sweet but has a kind of goofy boyfriend, the second daughter is a party girl and they also had a son but I don't remember what the problem with him was.
The dad was played by an actor who was a little like John Cleese - but it was not him. I thought the boyfriend was played by Karl Howman, but I can't find this show listed on his website.
If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.

As Time Goes By?

Actually on second thoughts, I don't think it is.

Anyone got any ideas?

No Place Like Home (I think)

https://www.comedy.co.uk/sitcoms/no_place_like_home.shtml

Home Sweet Home is Australian and is about an Italian family who moves to Australia. As Time Goes By is huge here in America - it's shown on almost all Public TV stations.
The show I am lookign for was certainly shot in England with an English family somewhere in the suburbs.
But thank you for responding.

I've changed that post (Home Sweet Home). I couldn't remember the name originally. Try it again.

I thought it was Butterflies (?) at first. But that was sons, not daughters.

Did it star Julia Swahala (or one of the sisters?)
