ABC will show the first episode again on Thurs night. Check your listings.

The stars are William Fichtner, who played Josh Snyder from As the World turns in the 80s and
Milo Ventimiglia who played Jack from This Is Us.

Thanks, Kat!

I liked the first episode and will continue watching to see where it goes.

I remember watching William Fichtner on As The World Turns, so long ago. He was also very funny on the series Mom.

I really liked William Fichtner on Mom, too. I was so glad they kept the character for the rest of the show after he and Bonnie met.

From the article, it sounds like his family works along the lines of the group on the old tv show "Leverage". May give it a try just for that.

Sidebar: I bet many of us watched "thirtysomething." Polly Draper, who played the raspy voiced Ellyn Warren, potrays Fichtner's wife. Haven't seen her in years. She looks great. Then and now:

I'm only familiar with Polly Draper from the movie she did with John Ritter, Heartbeat (1993). It was made from a Danielle Steel book of the same name. She was married and got pregnant. Her husband never wanted kids and demanded she get an abortion or he'd divorce her. She kept the baby, so the husband left. She then met John Ritter, who was a single dad, and they fell in love. Spoiler on a 30 year old movie, they get married and he adopts her baby son at the end.

Thanks, JS. That's the only thing I know her from. She & John Ritter were good together in it.

I remember that movie, too. I miss John Ritter in the world.
