A Great Miniseries about the American Family's Trials and Tribulations. Step back in time for the writing is timeless

12:10 Poor Jennifer Cooke got the booth when Sarah Jessica showed was cast, Jennifer was beautiful and talented actress, she would have gone far if she had the same HW connections.

What a treat! TY for posting these!! I loved this series when I was just a young gal.

👍 haven’t seen this since 88 thanks😊

Thank you for this! This brings me back ! I remember watching this episode when i first ran - on my small Sony TV set in my NY apartment. That bar scene with SJP and David Oliver, Wow, never thought I'd see it again!

R.I.P. Richard Kiley, David Oliver, and Amanda Peterson.

thank you so much I heard of this mini series and now I saw it. it was really good

I remember this tv show from the 1980s. I thought it was excellent, good scripts, good acting, important subjects. I'm glad Eva Marie Saint is still alive - they knocked off her character in the first episode!

I liked this show. Didn't like the anti-Republican comments. Reminded me of the show "thirtysomething"...a lot of whining.

We've got tonight" a love song performed by Kenny Rogers and Sheena Easton in 80's. Good memories

R.I.P. Amanda Peterson :(

This is actually the television movie (part 1). It was such a ratings hit NBC decided to make it a series, but the weekly series did poorly. Joshua Brand and John Falsey were also tied to the television series, "St. Elsewhere." Richard Kiley won the Emmy as Best Actor for his work on this show. I'll never forget the ending of his acceptance speech. He angrily said, "I have nothing but CONTEMPT for the corporate utopia that KILLED a fine show." and he grabbed his Emmy and stomped off the stage.

Does anyone know the piece of music used as the theme for this show? I have looked for it for years. So sad to hear the news of Amanda Peterson today. I always adored her especially in this show.

Hej. Varför går det inte att se del 2 ? Tack för att du laddat upp denna serie, många minnen.

Takk :) Denne tv serien har jeg lett etter ...

Thank you so much!! Been searching for this for YEARS. This show meant so much to me, sentimentally. I really appreciate you and thanks again!! :)

Where is Ep 2? I'd love to see again how he and Kay hook up.

Thank you!!

I remember this show well it seemed so hip and now when it came out in 1986! So funny to watch something w/ no cell phones and people smoking everywhere. Thank you for sharing this!

Wow~~so much smoking! I keep wanting to go tell them to stop. So nice seeing Richard Kiley; just excellent throughout, and heartbreaking when he breaks down. Thanks for putting this up; I'd never heard of it before. Now I want to see episode 2. Hope it's around somewhere.

absolouely loved this miniseries and the show that followed.

many thanks! i have fond memories of this show...

It says this video is not available. I'm devastated :-( is there any way you could replied it? I tried skipping to episode three, but so much happens that I don't want to miss it. Thanks in advance of your help.

I had just started veterinary college when this aired. It is the first time I remember watching something on television that made me cry when Ann tells her dad that mom was killed. I wish you could post episode 2. The other favorite scene was when David became ill in the bathroom because he was in love with Kay.

Could you email the episode #2 to me? [email protected]

Why can't we watch episode 2?

y el audio?

So schön...... Danke fürs hochladen!!!

Wäre schön...... die Serie nochmal im TV zu sehen!

Eine tolle Serie!

I've been looking for this miniseries for years. Haven't seen it since it was on prime time. People always get it confused with the TV show of the same name, which lasted only one season.

Thanks for uploading this,I haven't seen it since 1986.

The father is such a jerk I can not feel sorry for him.

Takk!! :-D

I always loved this show and the theme song. Thanks for adding it to KZbin.

THANK YOU for posting this...I loved this show. You definitely see how "Parenthood" (the movie and the TV series) were influenced by it. The guy who played the son who ends up with Sarah Jessica Parker...sadly, he died from AIDS in 1992.

wow its been a long time I have seen this...I did follow to watch when it was picked up as a TV series...I was disappointed when it was cancelled

I second Sherry's statement. I loved this show when it came out and was so disappointed it stopped so early that I wrote the network in protest!

Thank you so much for posting. Ive been looking for this for a long time.

Wow! Bringing back memories...love this series, thanx for posting!! Really enjoyed watching this again:)

Hej Jag har letat många år efter den här serien. Bonus att den var på svenska. 1000 tack.

Amazing. Thanks for posting. It's still as good as remember it 28 years later.

This is great! I'd like to see more! Amanda Peterson was in the mini-series and the regular series for one season and I would like to see her episodes. Please post more!

Thank you so much for posting this mini-series. I have looked for this for years. It is my favorite, too. This made my day.
