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.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
