Each at home (original title: Too Close for Comfort) was an American television series broadcast between the 1980s and 1990s. The series featured the life of the Henderson family, composed of Father Henry, his wife Muriel, their twins Jackie and Sarah, and their younger son Monroe.

The intrigue of the series revolved around the cohabitation of the two girls with their father and stepmother in a small house located in the fictitious town of San Francisco.
