OMG! I just found this board! Yeah Tracey was on it from season 2 on. Unfortunately I have only seen a few eps so far but I really loved those. I would love to see more. Back when it aired here in germany we didn't have a satellite dish so I never got to see it. But I got a few eps from ebay once. Now I really want more. I loved Tracey in this. And for all the Division fans... Dusty (Troy Evans) had a guest role too. He played a guy who had the hots for Paige lol.

Here's some Life Goes On promo pics

Yeah! Totally. Tracey Needham once said something similar about him.

TN (on hoping 'Life Goes On' would teach people not to have prejudices): "When people watch someone with a handicap on this show, and they can see he's normal, it will make them let their guard down so they can relate to it. It becomes more familiar, then it's not so scary. You can put yourself in that situation. Everyone has had some battle, something they've had to work against, that they can relate it to."

Life Goes On was very good especially in the first two seasons. When season three got started the show degenerated into the whole Becca and Jesse soap opera. It took the feel away from the show. Overall the show was the first of its kind dealing with Down's Syndrome.

I absolutely loved this show.When the series was still in production,I recall an advertisement that read'you,ll laugh,you,ll cry,you,ll fall in love'.They weren,t kidding.My feeling excactly.The show was almost like a tv series version of the movie Stand By Me.Heart filling.My two favourite characters were Corky and Jesse.I almost cried at the end of the episode where Jesse reveals to Becca that he,s HIV positive.And I loved the slow dance number Becca and Jesse did to Bob Seger,s hit tune We,ve Got Tonight.To this day,I think of that song as Becca and Jesse,s ballad.I really cried when Corky broke down over not having had the chance to bid Tyler farewell,after Tyler had been killed in a car cra*****his series is a classic with me.I wonder why it only went from 1989 until 1993?It was a pretty short series.

I think the ratings were the reason it got canceled. it was a critical su ccess, but the ratings were moderate to sub-par, to say the least. it was a show that really struggled in the ratings. i'm actually surprised it lasted from 89-93, four years is a long time for a ratings challenged show. i'd love to see this show again.

Dopa dee dopa da, life goes on oh......

I miss Life Goes On. I'm grateful to have the first season DVD, but I do wish they'd release the last three seasons already. I doubt it'll ever be on TV again. I used to watch the show every Sunday evening when it was on.

I loved Life Goes On, and faithfully watched it every Sunday evening and then would stick around for America's Funniest Home Videos. Ah, those were the days.

Anyway, I was told I looked like Kellie Martin's Becca all the time. I think I can see the resemblance. This photo was taken of me when I was in 8th grade, and I think LGO would've just ended. In fact, at the time this school picture was taken, KM was probably already filming Christy (which is my all-time favorite KM project). In fact, I call the red glasses I have here my "Becca" glasses.
