Life Goes On - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

03-14-2001, 10:03 PM

I read about the show in the Complete Directory To Primetime Network and Cable TV Shows (aka "my tv book") and it sounded good. About a guy with Downs Syndrome. Aired from 1989-1993 on Sunday nights (opposite 60 minutes). It really does sound good. I know it's not a sitcom, but still, it's a family drama. Does anybody remember it or has seen it and liked it? I want to know if any body has it on tape, if it's on video, or if it's in reruns. Thanks!

Yeah, I remember it. It was pretty good. A little boring at times to me though. But overall a nice family show on Sunday nights. Not too many of them left!

Life goes on, with Corky? Yeah, I remember it, vaguely. Wasn't Tracy Needham of Division Fame on it for awhile as Corky's girlfriend?

She sure was. Tracey played the second Paige. Oh yeah, I forgot, the show ran on ABC.

I certainly remember the show. I have watched a few episodes. They are currently rerunning the show here in Scandinavia on TVNorge (a Norwegian satellite station owned by ABC in the US), I believe it´s on early on Saturdays and Sundays (around 11:00 AM), if someone happens to live in Scandinavia here!

Paige was Corky's sister, not girlfriend.

OMG! Just had to bump this up because I was in advisory this afternoon (I have advisories at my school) and my advisor mentioned it! We were talking about FOL (one of our favorite topics, hehe) and my advisor told us all about "Life Goes On" and I thought I had heard that somewhere!

I'll stop rambling -- but very ironic!

I used to love that show. I watched it every Sunday night.

I remember Life Goes On! I watched some of the episodes when it reran on PAX network.... I've tried to talk PAX into reshowing it, maybe some of you would send them an email or letter? hint hint.... I really love it, it was different because you don't normally find shows dealing with this kind of family problem on TV... one of a kind and an excellent show!

disturbed child · 02-19-2002, 05:51 PM

Oh I lerbed Life Goes On! Kellie Martin is my absolute favorite actress. She played Rebecca (Becca) Thatcher who was dating Chad Lowe's character with AIDS Jesse McKenna. Very wonderdul show!!!!!

DetectiveGriffin · 03-09-2002, 08:27 AM

I used to watch it when it was on, and it was a good show. As it progressed it became almost exclusively about Corky's down syndrome and Jesse's HIV. Still a good show - afterschool special quality about it. It is showing on canada's CTS family network, along with stuff like Mr. Belvedere, Growing Pains, and Happy Days. If you want it bad, you should have too hard a time finding a canadian trader. I have had very good luck with those adorable canadians!

I used to love Life Goes On when it was on. That was the show that really got me into liking Kellie Martin. It could be boring sometimes (mostly when they focused on the parents IMO) but it was an interesting and unique show that dealth with issues often ignored on TV.

I really miss Life Goes On. It was one of my favorite shows

80s90sFanatic · 08-04-2003, 07:59 PM
