On Our Own was an American sitcom that aired on ABC from September 13, 1994 to April 14, 1995. The series starred Ralph Louis Harris and six real life siblings: Jazz,
   Jocqui, Jake, Jojo, Jurnee, and Jussie Smollett. The series centers on the Jerrico family, consisting of seven brothers and sisters in the O'Fallon Park neighborhood of St.
   Louis who lose their parents and being raised by the eldest brother, Josh. The early episodes focused on the siblings attempting not to be split up by authorities. This
   leads to Josh, the eldest brother who was trying to raise the family alone, to dress in drag and pose as older guardian, Aunt Jelcinda, to fool their case worker, Alana
   Michaels. Alana quickly sees through the charade, but decides to help the family stay together. Alana and the family attempt to fool Alana's boss, Mr. Gordon Ormsby,
   that 'Mama J' is actually taking care of the family. Problems arise when Mr. Ormsby becomes enamored with her, ultimately telling Mr. Ormsby that she is only focused
on the well being of the children. In December 1994, the series was put on hiatus and retooled. When it returned to the air in March 1995, Josh was granted full custody of his siblings, thus ending the need for the Aunt Jelcinda/Mama J character. Alana Michaels and Mr. Ormsby were also written out of the show, and a new character, Scotti Decker, was introduced. Scotti, who
was a young, attractive professional contractor, rented a room from the Jerricos in exchange for the work she was doing on their home. She became a sister figure to the younger kids, while fighting off sexual advances from Josh and Jimi and turning them into more responsible men of the house. Suki and Nails were the carpenters who worked for Scotti.
