In its first season, the show was a conventional sitcom, shot on videotape with a laugh track, but in subsequent seasons the show adopted a single-cam comedy drama format. The show starred Laura Bruneau as Kitty, a Toronto fashion designer. The cast also included Linda Sorenson as Kitty's mother Virginia (Seasons 1-4), Jayne Eastwood as her office assistant Bernice (Seasons 1-3), Chris Potter as her boyfriend Tim (Seasons 1-3), Angela Dohrmann as her downstairs neighbor and then roommate Angela (Seasons 3-4), as her business partner Martin (Seasons 3-4), and Karen LeBlanc as her store employee Lucy (Season 4). The show's original theme song, "World of Wonder", was composed by series creator Jane Ford and performed by actress and singer Taborah Johnson. Johnson, who is the sister of actor Clark Johnson, appeared in the opening credits, singing the song on a street corner. Season four saw a change to the opening credits sequence, using Bob Wiseman's "What the Astronaut Noticed and Then Suggested" as its new theme music.
