- Lisa arrives at the Mathews' home and attracts Danny's attention. Danny and Gator drill a peephole through a bathroom wall in an attempt to see her nude, but she sees Danny naked instead.
- Live-In is an American sitcom created by Robert Sternin and Prudence Fraser that aired briefly on CBS from March 20 to May 22, 1989. The series focuses on young Australian au pair Lisa Wells (Lisa Patrick) integrating into the home life of a New Jersey family and their teenage son Danny Mathews' (Chris Young) efforts to become her boyfriend. Nine episodes were filmed in Los Angeles, which CBS hoped would draw a younger audience to the network.
While premiering to decent ratings, subsequent episodes suffered from low viewership, and CBS canceled the mid-season replacement before the final episode aired. The show received highly negative reviews from television critics; some named it one of the worst series of 1989 and felt it did not live up to CBS' reputation for airing high-quality programming. They described the writing as childish and thought the content was unoriginal but were mostly approving of Patrick's role.
The Mathews, a suburban New Jersey family, hire Lisa Wells (Lisa Patrick), an attractive young Australian woman who grew up in a large household in the Australian outback as a live-in nanny to take care of their newborn daughter Melissa Mathews (Melissa and Allison Lindsay). Her mother Sarah Mathews (Kimberly Farr) works as a manager at Macy's in Manhattan; father Ed Mathews (Hugh Maguire) is the proprietor of Mathews Sporting Goods Store in New Jersey. The couple has two other children: oldest son Danny Mathews (Chris Young), a high school sophomore determined to become Lisa's boyfriend; and Peter Mathews (David Moscow), a freshman with less of an interest in girls and who gets along amicably with her.
