What happens

Almost Grown is an American drama television series about a couple, played by Tim Daly and Eve Gordon, whose lives are explored during three time periods of their lives. The series was well received by critics, but aired for only 9 out of 13 episodes from November 27, 1988, until February 20, 1989, on CBS due to low ratings – running in the same timeslot as Monday Night Football and The NBC Monday Movie. The series was co-created by David Chase, who would later create The Sopranos. Despite this and the later fame of Daly and Marcia Cross, the series has never been distributed outside of its original network run. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
