A series about a loving family facing the problems we all face - growing up and growing old, fitting in and finding our way - may not at first glance seem like a TV breakthrough. But look again. The second child in the family, Corky, has Down syndrome. He is played by Chris Burke, an actor who also has Down syndrome. And with Burke's Corky as the show's center, Life Goes On broke through - right into the audience's hearts. This 6-disc set includes all 22 Season-One episodes (plus insightful extras) that follows the entire family, including 18-year-old Corky as he enters regular high school as a freshman, knowing that he may find friends, but he'll also find classmates who will never see beyond his disability.
