Life Goes On reminds me of those movies of the week but made for a television series. It's one of those feel-good dramas starring the wonderful Patti LuPone who plays mother to Becca played by the annoying Kellie Martin, (sorry but I avoid her whenever possible!) She's just too perky for me, and Corky played by the wonderful Christopher Burke who really has a down syndrome. The first episode has him getting ready for his first day at the same high school as Becca. She falls for Tyler, the cute good-looking guy who treats Corky like another student. Also Becca has a relationship with Chad Lowe's character who has AIDS. I guess it was groundbreaking at the time and he won an Emmy for it. It's one of those dramas and there is comedy too. Of course, Patti plays the second wife and is stepmother to an older daughter who we never see.
