Almost Grown (1988) TV series 1988-1989

In some ways, Norman and Suzie are a very typical American couple. This hour-long drama used flashbacks to recall important events in the lives of a divorced couple. The couple both shared in the duties of raising their two children. The story was complicated by the fact that they were still in love with each other. Despite great acting by the likes of Tim Daly, Eve Gordon and Marcia Cross the show did not catch on and lasted only a few episodes.
