Do you remember a show called "Breaker High", starring Ryan Gosling?!
...
It was about these kids that went to high school on a cruise ship. There was a time in the 90s I think these shows came on around the same time slot, and then throw some "California Dreams" in there and we're good to go!
No. But I remember an episode or two from "Beverly Hills, 90210" set on a cruise ship, where the kids sailed as part of their school's study program. What can I say: rich high school kids literally go places. (Or maybe it was "Sweet Valley High", one of its more serious episodes?) There was a guy offering a girl vodka from a flask he carried. He probably smuggled it onboard similar to how real-life cruise passengers do it.
For some reason, I can't post a link, but another show from a similar, somewhat later time period was "Life Goes On." It starred Patti Lupone and Kelli Martin among others and was about a family who had a son/brother with Down Syndrome. Later seasons included a storyline that dealt with the AIDS crisis. Speaking of Kelli Martin, she also starred in a T.V. series adaptation of the novel, "Christie" that I also loved.

The nostalgia is killing me, I really miss all this old family friendly wholesome goodness.
Thanks for the posting the link!
I sometimes do, too. I was a teenaged girl during the period when those shows were originally on the air (and watched a lot of the 'seventies shows in syndication from late childhood on), so there's a huge nostalgia factor at play there as well as some of those shows like "Life Goes On" were just darn good.
My partner mildly makes fun of me for "comfort watching" certain shows like "Highway to Heaven" when he sees them on my Netflix queue, but I find watching shows like that to be oddly soothing.
OMG I just watched the entire 'I think I am having a baby'. Jennifer Jason Leigh, Helen Hunt, actually good acting. I am going to watch another right now, I think the one where Scott Baio is the stoner. Pure gold! Thx for posting!
Just thought of another one that did not last long at all. Starred Dweezil Zappa and his sister, Moon Unit Zappa. The name of the show was "Normal Life" and it ran from March 21 to July 18, 1990. I had to look this one up. He was very much "eye candy" during this show.

Lol, I saw that Scott Baio stoner episode there on the list too, I already know I'm gonna get hooked on these shows in the next few weeks lol.
Last summer during lockdown, I kept finding all these old made for tv movies from the 70s and 80s, and they're sooooo good! Quality content & great acting. We totally took television for granted.. lol, but I'm so grateful for youtube.
Here's a link to some of those made for tv movies, there are ~250 on that playlist, enjoy! I know I will!
