Oh Madeline is an American sitcom starring Madeline Kahn that aired on ABC from September 27, 1983 to March 13, 1984. It was based on the British sitcom Pig in the Middle that aired on ITV from 1980 until 1983. This was also Madeline Kahn's first sitcom for The Carsey-Werner Company, her second and final sitcom for them was Cosby in 1996 until her death in 1999. Some say that Oh Madeline seems very reminiscent to the classic 1951-1957 sitcom I Love Lucy.
