Thirtysomething - Season 1, Volume 1

One of the most iconic dramatic series of the 1980s, THIRTYSOMETHING, originally premiered in the fall of 1987. Targeted expressly to Baby Boomers, the four-season program followed the ups and downs of two married couples and three singles living and working in Philadelphia. On board were husband-and-wife suburbanites Michael (Ken Olin) and Hope Steadman (Mel Harris); struggling marrieds Elliott (Timothy Busfield) and Nancy Weston (Patricia Wettig); free-spirited bachelor college professor Gary (Peter Horton); angsty career woman Ellyn Warren (Polly Draper); and aspiring photographer Melissa Steadman (Melanie Mayron). Events covered in the first season (1987-88) included Elliott and Michael's day-to-day struggles at the ad agency that they ran; the crumbling of Elliott and Nancy's marriage; Michael and Hope's parentage of toddler Janey; and much more. This box set contains the first ten episodes of Season One; installments include PILOT, THE PARENTS ARE COMING, HOUSEWARMING, COUPLES and BUT NOT FOR ME.
