About this product

Product Information

This groundbreaking television series introduced America to the Thatcher family: married couple Drew and Libby, and their exceptional children--the brilliant but socially awkward Becca, and Corky, a boy with Down syndrome (played by Chris Burke, an actual teenager with Down syndrome). The realistic and unusual show dealt with a variety of real-life issues, from mental handicaps to HIV. Most of the first season (presented here in its entirety) revolved around Corky's attempts to attend normal high school rather than special education classes. In addition to the television episodes, this release provides commentary by Corky, and also shows him touring with his three-piece folk music group.

Awesome really enjoyable. I really love corky.
Amazing. I loved it.. This family really makes you stop and think about what thing's life can throw at you. Rebecca is amazing. I absolutely love Corky I mean how can you not love him. He absolutely does not get anything stand in his way.

I feel like I've been waiting forever to find this
I loved the series when it was on TV, and had been wanting to buy it (I wish I could find more than just the first year, but am thinking that is ALL that has been ever put on DVD) But, anyway, I have watched ever last episode already, and the memories that it brought back!! Even though the DVDS were used, they played with no incident, and I'm very PLEASED with this purchase.

Life goes on TV series season 1 review
This TV series is a great series with good values. It teaches people that anyone with a handicap can still do things on their own and can still love anyone. They still have a heart.
