I've been trying to recall the names of two sitcoms from the 1990s, both of which featured single fathers.

One ran at least half a season, and the father was a firefighter. One episode had the teenage son and his friends sing the theme from _Mister Rogers' Neighborhood_ as a bluff when they were in trouble. In another episode, the father was dating the mother of a little boy his daughter went to pre-school with, and they think babies come from kissing on the lips, and when his daughter sees them kiss, he tells her what really happens, and she tells the little boy, causing his mopther to break up with her father.. It eventually reconciled when the woman's son sees her kiss another man she goes on one date with, and she decides to explain things to her son. She tells the father and he asks her if he said "Eww, gross, no way!" and she asks "how did you know?"

The other show had a teenager living in an apartment with just his dad. I believe the show lasted less than a month. The teenager meets a girl living in the building and they start going out until she discovers that he's reading _Lost Horizon_, which at their school is part of the curriculum for a lower grade than she is in, so she tells him they can't date anymore. In the same episode, the father dates a curly haired woman who has a walrus's genitalia on display in her living room that she says is a gift from an Inuit that is supposed to bring good luck.

Anyone recognize these?
