Open All Night (TV series)

Open All Night is an American sitcom that aired on ABC from November 28, 1981, to March 5, 1982. The show centered on Gus Feester (George Dzundza) and his oddball family working in an all-night chain grocery store named 364 Store that is open every day except Christmas. Store manager Feester lives in an apartment above the store with his wife, Gretchen, and his teenaged step-son, Terry.

Description
Robin is the tall (6 foot night manager, and officers Steve and Edie often stop by for coffee and doughnuts, but are never able to catch shoplifters or other criminals.

Despite a similar title and a setting, it has no connection to the British series Open All Hours. Additionally, it has no connection with the 1981 comedy film All Night Long, which also has a similar title and setting.

Jay Tarses was co-creator, writer, co-star and occasional director of the show.

Cassandra Peterson (better known for her Elvira persona) made a guest appearance on one episode. David Letterman also made a guest appearance, and made a sly reference to his daytime talk show, which was canceled a year before.
