Pride and Prejudice
It's hard to believe that Jane Austen wrote the sophisticated and acerbic PRIDE AND PREJUDICE when she was only 21 years old, in 1797. Originally entitled FIRST IMPRESSIONS, the novel was rejected, revised, retitled, and finally published--anonymously--in 1813, only four years before Austen's untimely death. In PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, Austen calls on her sharp observations of vanity, venality, pomposity, and downright nuttiness in a story about a respectable but far from wealthy family full of daughters--girls who desperately need to find husbands if they are to have any kind of economic security. The eldest of the Bennett family, Elizabeth, is a bright, opinionated, and complacent young woman whose reaction to an offer of marriage from her wealthy but impossibly arrogant suitor, Fitzwilliam Darcy, is revulsion. But in the course of the story both Elizabeth and Darcy learn important lessons about their own folly and blindness, and about the dangers of superficial judgements. As the two perform their elaborate courtship dance, Austen surrounds them with some of her most uproariously clueless characters--from the wacky Mrs. Bennett to the wonderfully unctuous Mr. Collins, another of Elizabeth's admirers. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE is, of course, a highly satisfying and offbeat love story, but it is also an unparalleled examination of human nature at both its best and its hilarious worst.

The plot followed Gary Ewing (Ted Shackelford) as he moved to Southern California, escaping the overbearing attentions of the Ewing clan. But in the community of Knot`s Landing, Gary finds more strife as he encounters the various characters who live in the area, including his boss, Sid Fairgate (Don Murray); Sid`s wife, Karen (Michele Lee); record industry bigwig Kenny Ward (James Houghton) and his wife, Ginger (Kim Lankford); and attorney Richard Avery (John Pleshette) and his wife, Laura (Constance McCashin). This entire first season of the show is collected here.
