Go to ioffer.com to buy a DVD copy I loved this show and wish someone would get it in their library as well as other good, old TV mini-series: Once an Eagle, Chiefs, The Last Convertible, Rich Man Poor Man, Testimony of Two Men. I did buy Testimony of Two Men from the above noted website and the quality is fine, not great, but worth the price and I've enjoyed viewing the show again after 30 odd years. Where has Wendy Phillips disappeared to? I've seen the Lindley character several times, Law and Order, comes to mind. I loved the reality of the characters in AYITL, they were people I would have liked as neighbors, friends or co=workers.

I was fortunate to have gotten the entire series & just watched it from beginning to end. (It was hard not to!) I had forgotten how good this series was. I found myself laughing and crying - all within the same episode. The chemistry between all of the characters was magical. Was it the writers? the actors? the director? .... all of the above? I particularly enjoyed the relationship between Joe (Richard Kiley) and his grandson David. When this series first came out, I appreciated that it was one of the only thing on TV worth watching. When it was abruptly canceled, there was no explanation to be found anywhere - though I recalled Richard Kiley remarking that it was "political". Perhaps this was the reason why it was never shown as a rerun nor likely to be aired again? In any event, I have the complete series ... and it's definitely a keeper!

I remember liking this show a lot when it was on the air. It took me awhile to find the name of it because I was looking for the name through Jason Robards. I kind of remembered him as playing the father. But I finally located it through Sarah Jessica Parker. I was around 16 or 17 when it was on the air, so the details are a little vague almost 20 years later. I sort of remember the father being disappointed in one of the sons for some reason and I thought there was a little trouble between the son and his wife played by Sarah Jessica Parker. For some reason, I thought they weren't together anymore but that she was still close to the family. I do remember being disappointed that the show was canceled. I was hoping I could find this show on DVD and am upset that I can't. If anyone can help me out with this, please contact me at

I saw the whole series during Christmas in 1988. I taped it and watched it over and over... I simply loved it! It's funny and sad at the same time. What that family goes through in one year is something that could happen to a lot of people. The actors, especially Adam Arkin and Sarah Jessica Parker is doing a good job. I remember I felt sad for the father in the house...If someone ever reads this please send me an E-MAIL. My friend borrowed the tapes a year after, and destroyed it by accident... I was, and still are, very sad.I would very much like to watch this movie again! If you know where to get/buy it please let me know!Have a nice summer :o)
