The central location of this British sitcom was the fictional Tygo Road Community Centre. Kevin McNally starred as Adam Hartley, the newly appointed head of Tygo Road. Battling employee and client hostility and wading through miles of red tape, Adam generally prevailed, but it was much funnier when he didn't. Introduced with a pilot episode on May 19, 1989, the six-episode Tygo Road was aired by BBC from May 15 to June 12, 1990. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Chuck "Tiger" Warsaw (Patrick Swayze) returns to the steel town of Sharon, Pennsylvania hoping to be reunited with his estranged family after 15 years. He spent his time away from home in Miami in a perpetual fog of drugs and alcohol and is struggling to remember what prompted his departure. Tiger eventually remembers seeing his sister Paula (Mary McDonnell) naked. Her premature and hysterical cries of attempted incest prompted an argument with his father Mitchell (Lee Richardson), and in the melee Tiger shot Mitchell and fled. Upon his return home, Tiger finds that as a result of the shooting, his dad's injuries are such that he can't remember anything except his love for high-school sports. Frances (Piper Laurie) is Tiger's sympathetic mother who along with his former high-school sweetheart Karen (Barbara Williams) and buddy Tony (Bobby DiCicco) readily accepts him. His spiteful sister and her yuppie fiancee Roger (James Patrick Gillis) join with other irate relatives to ruin the happy family reunion for Tiger. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
