"Once and Again"
Starts: October

Where We Left Off: After much chaos, Rick and his kids arrived at the Manning home for dinner.

Matt (Roush) Says: This emotionally absorbing series developed into so much more than just a romance between two love-wary yuppies. Each of the characters in their extended, fractured families -- especially their young but complex children -- is richly drawn and warmly acted, making it impossible not to care about what happens next.

The Big News: Executive producer-creator Edward Zwick hopes the last episode "promised something that is long awaited": the growing involvement of these two families "and the inevitable complications that arise."

Growing Pains: According to Zwick, things will get "increasingly dramatic" as the four kids are thrown together frequently. And Lily -- working for a dot-com -- will have to deal with the financial fallout of her changed marital status.__TV Guide (September 9 - 15, 2000)
