Reception
Upon its 1986 premiere, the Associated Press called the series "a family show suitable for framing." Despite good reviews, the show was not a ratings hit, only ranking 53rd in its first season, and 64th in its second season. NBC had positioned Our House to be aired on Sundays at 7pm. This was an experiment to move prime time television to the 7 o'clock hour from 8 o'clock.
The Inspiration Network re-aired syndicated episodes of Our House in the US on from October 18, 2010 to December 31, 2011. Prior to that, reruns of the show aired on The Family Channel in the early-90s, and on Pax TV about a decade later.
