On Our Own is an American sitcom broadcast on ABC from September 13, 1994 to April 14, 1995. Created and executive produced by David W. Duclon, Thomas L. Miller and Robert L. Boyett, the series stars the Smollett siblings: JoJo, Jazz, Jussie, Jurnee, Jake, and Jocqui.
In the O'Fallon Park neighborhood of St. Louis live the Jerrico family, consisting of seven kids: Josh, Jimi, Jai, Jesse, Jordee, Joc, and Jarreau. Six months ago, a car crash killed their parents. Since then, they have been raised by Josh, who often crossdresses as 'Aunt Jelcinda' to evade intervention from social services.
Seasons
Season 1
After their parents die in a tragic car accident, 20-year-old Josh Jerrico takes over as the authority figure of his six younger siblings. But the by-the-rules head of Department of Children Services, Gordon Ormsby, hears of the Jerricos' case and sends new social worker Alana Michaels to investigate and, if accurate, prepare for foster care. Josh assumes the identity of 'Aunt Jelcinda' to combat the authorities.
