Aaron's Way
 Aaron Miller was a strict, bearded Amish
father who uprooted his tight-knit family from Pennsylvania and
moved to California when his eldest son, Noah, died there.
Noah
Miller had forsaken his Amish ways and when he perished in a
surfing accident, he left behind a pregnant girlfriend (Susannah)
with a vineyard she couldn't manage alone. So the Millers moved
in to help.
Stories revolved around the Millers' culture
shock as they adjusted to modern California ways, while trying to
retain their deep-rooted moral values and peculiar style of dress.
 Conservative Aaron always seemed to clash with free-spirited
Susannah and her sharp-tongued mother, Connie, who ran the local
beauty shop. Susannah's teenaged brother Mickey had eyes for
Aaron's daughter, Roseanne.
Aaron Miller was portrayed by
former LA Ram and Hall-of-Famer Merlin in the CBS drama. The cast
also boasted such notable names as Belinda Montgomery, Samantha
Mathis and veteran actress Jessica Walter.
It seems that
Olsen had already played out all his pious appeal on Little House
on the Prairie and Father Murphy as Aaron's Way debuted
on NBC in March
1988 and vanished three short months later.
