Open All Night (TV series)
Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox television
Open All Night is an American sitcom that aired on ABC[1] from November 28, 1981,[2] to March 5, 1982. The show centered on Gordon Feester (George Dzundza) and his oddball family working in an all-night chain grocery store named 364 Store[3] that is open every day except Christmas.[4] Store manager Feester lives in an apartment above the store with his wife, Gretchen, and his teenaged step-son, Terry.[5]
Description
Robin is the tall (Script error: No such module "convert". night manager, and officers Steve and Edie often stop by for coffee and doughnuts, but are never able to catch shoplifters or other criminals.[4]
Despite a similar title and a setting, it has no connection to the British series Open All Hours. Additionally, it has no connection with the 1981 comedy film All Night Long, which also has a similar title and setting.
Jay Tarses was co-creator, writer, co-star and occasional director of the show.[6]
Cassandra Peterson (better known for her Elvira persona) made a guest appearance on one episode. David Letterman also made a guest appearance, and made a sly reference to his daytime talk show, which was canceled a year before.
