Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful show but one wonders why the distribution is lame to say the least.
Summary of Kate & Allie - Season One
Emmy Award winners Jane Curtin and Susan Saint James star in Kate & Allie, the beloved and groundbreaking comedy series about new beginnings. Recently divorced Allie Lowell (Curtin) and her two children, Chip (Frederick Koehler) and Jennie (Allison Smith), move from the comfortable suburbs of Connecticut to begin a new life in New York City. They share a house with Allie?s best friend, Kate McArdle (Saint James), and her daughter, Emma (Ari Meyers), and together this group forms a new kind of family unit. Kate and Allie Season One features an exclusive interview with Susan Saint James, a bonus preview episode from Season 2, and a special featurette that takes a look back at television?s greatest decade, the eighties. The #1 sitcom during its first year of broadcast, Kate & Allie changed the way we think about families. See how it all began!Kate & Allie: Season One introduced a new type of nuclear family to the 1980s: a pair of divorced women living with their children together in a somewhat cramped New York brownstone. A mid-season replacement in 1984, the sitcom starring Susan Saint James as Kate McArdle and Jane Curtain as Allie Lowell was both a critical and commercial success. The shoulder pads, clunky answering machine, and hairdon'ts give away the decade, but the storylines of grown-up best friends supporting and, at times, sparring with each other during personal and professional crises are timeless. Curtain and Saint James share a wonderful chemistry that makes them easy to watch.
In the first of six episodes, viewers are introduced to Allie's first post-divorce date, played by a dashing young Kelsey Grammer (Cheers, Frasier). Almost two decades before the gals on Sex and the City began tackling relationships, Kate summed it up best: "Dating's about finding someone so you never have to date again." By the time the series ended production in 1989, Kate and Allie's relationship had gotten a little hackneyed and it was time for the ladies to move on. But those first few seasons were fast, funny, and full of possibilities. --Jae-Ha Kim
