Subject: 90 TV series

Written By: Brent Sloan on 12/23/01 at 06:35 p.m.

Can anyone please tell me the name of the show that was on TV in either the late 80's or early 90's about the boy named "Corky" on the show that had Down's Syndrome. His sister on the show was named "Becca". We just can't figure out the name of the show.

Corky was played by Chris Burke, who really had Down's Syndrome. Kellie Martin was his sister Becca. I really had a crush on her, which is embarrassing because she was nearly a decade and a half younger :-[.

I didn't watch the show, but I remember Corky and all the hype around this show.

I agree, tho', Tish, Kellie Martin's character (Lucy) on E.R. was a loss!  Why did they kill her off and keep Abby?   ::)

One thing bothers me about "Life Goes On". Why did the show's producers replace the pretty blonde chick in the first season with Tracy Needham, then not show her character that much? It reminds me of the time "Doctor Quinn:Medicine Woman" replaced the girl that played Jane Seymour's young daughter with Jessica Bowman, then didn't give her enough storylines.  >:(What did happen to the original daughter (I believe her name was Erika Flores or something) ????
