A self made millionaire from Hoboken Nick Foley needs to change his image fast. To acquire a family image this playboy needs to do a complete 180. In a stroke of genius deduction he decides to adopt six orphan girls. He takes them to live in his Bel-Air mansion. After his idea backfires in a complete deal breaker, he realizes it wasn't that important anyway and he asks the girls to stay permanently.

The show was set in 1961 and focused on the girls misadventures and problems they faced growing up in the 60s from small dances to the Cuban Missile Crisis. This show was a first in television history as it was the first and only to incorporate music into the plot line. A television musical featuring music from the 50s and 60s rewritten to fit the plot.less «

  This show is kind of a like Annie in that a millionaire adopts six girls to come live in his mansion with him. It is filled with great stories and music. hide « show »

  This show was so awesome and refreshing. There is nothing like it today! The music and theme are so fun. It really can't compare to anything on television now.The characters are unique and inviting, while the music grabs the viewers' attention. A cast full of colorful characters and lively music make this show what it is. The time period is historical, yet it is interesting to viewers. It is a musical show that truly entertains the audience. It is a shame that it only lasted one year. It may have lasted longer in today's society, which is probably more open to this type of programming

  Rags to Riches is a great show that they should bring back for young girls to enjoy! hide « show »

  My sister and I watched this show when we were younger. She's 31 and I am 29. I remember watching it all the time and then it just disappeared. As much as TV stations bring back old shows, this is one of them that they should definately bring back. The singing and dancing was great. I have a lot of fond memories. Bring it back!

  I grew up watching "Rags To Riches". It was a show that blended drama, music and comedy. This show tackeled many issues from not feeling adequate to peer pressures. It was an A+ in my grade book! hide « show »

  Rags To Riches was a show that blended so many qualities. It had comedy, drama, music and political issues. The show was based around a loyal group of orphan friends who vow to stick together as a family. When this group of beautiful young women refuse to break up, multi-millionaire Nick Foley decides to adopt them all to make himself look good for a business deal. He ends up falling in love with these poor, orphan children and raises them as his own. The issues that this gem of a show captured was everything from peer pressure, puberty, politics, and learning where each girl fit in. The show was so full of fun and music. It was one of my best childhood memories. I really hope this show makes it to dvd so that my kids can one day enjoy the magic as well.

  My daughters 23 and 28 loved this show, bring it back!! hide « show »

  My daughters 23 and 28 loved this show, bring it back!! I also enjoyed watching this show with them. I coached a girls softball team at the time and we would tape it if we were unable to watch it as a team then on the weekends we would lay around in the living room and watch it together. The girls would sing along with the show and at times have a dress up party to see who would look the closest to the actresses, it was great! It brings back some good memories. I would like to share it with my grand daughters

  Wow-this show brings me back! hide « show »

  Rags to Riches along with Punky Brewster and Gem were the trifecta for me. I was 6 when this show debuted, but I still remember the theme song - 'Rags to Riches are all our wishes . . .we are rags to riches!" I know that Tisha Campbell is a great actress in her own right, but all I remember her from is Rags to Riches. I remember thinking that being adopted would be the coolest thing in the world, because apparently that meant being taken in by a fun-loving, or rich benefactor (on Punky Brewster, Punky got an awesome room, a cool father and a kick a** playhouse).
