Production
Show creators William Bickley and Michael Warren served as executive producers, along with show developers Thomas L. Miller and Robert L. Boyett. The inaugural spring 1993 season also featured the co-producing team of Ken Cinnamon and Karen Wengrod, and Phil Doran as a producer. For the second season, there was considerable turnover behind the scenes, and Getting By inherited several producers and other staffers from the recently-ended sister series Perfect Strangers. Among these transfers were Alan Plotkin as a general producer, the team of Barry O'Brien and Cheryl Alu as co-executive producers, co-producer Michael J. Morris, and Scott Spencer Gorden, who had been executive story consultant during Perfect Strangers' final two seasons, and whom continued in the same role on Getting By. Joel Zwick, a regular director on Miller/Boyett shows, garnered a rare producing credit in the second season as well.
Eunetta T. Boone and P. Karen Raper, known for their work as script editors and consultants on predominantly black series such as Roc and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, also were added to the series in its second year. This followed in the tradition of sister series Family Matters, which had begun to showcase more producers and writers who were known, or went on to become known, for their work on shows with a black perspective.
The series was principally produced by Miller-Boyett Productions, with associates Bickley-Warren Productions, and was backed by Lorimar Television in season one and Warner Bros. Television in season two.
