''Getting By'' is an DomCom that ran from 1993 to 1994, one season on Creator/{{ABC}} before a ChannelHop to Creator/{{NBC}}. The show starred Creator/TelmaHopkins and Creator/CindyWilliams as Dolores Dixon and Cathy Hale, two friends/co-workers splitting mortgage in a new home. Both of the women were single mothers, Dolores had two sons, Marcus (Creator/MerlinSantana) and Darren (Creator/DeonRichmond) and Cathy had two daughters, Nikki (Nicki Vannice) and Julie (Ashleigh Blair Sterling). Most of the shows humor was from the two friends' OddCouple-type relationship as well as their children learning to get along and relate with each other.
