Almost Grown is an American drama television series about a couple, played by Tim Daly and Eve Gordon, whose lives are explored during three time periods of their lives.[1] The series was well received by critics,[2] but aired for only 9 out of 13 episodes from November 27, 1988, until February 20, 1989, on CBS due to low ratings – running in the same timeslot as Monday Night Football and The NBC Monday Movie.[3] The series was co-created by David Chase.
