Leo faces some tough realities as he deals with his grandfather's recent heart attack, and the departure of Isabel, who has moved out.

Aired: 04/14/97

Show Summary

When her long-time boyfriend finally pops the big question, Isabel Lukens (Kimberly Williams) does what any right-minded young woman would do: takes off for Italy where she meets and falls madly in love with fellow American, Leo Roth (David Conrad). Wonder of wonders, the two hail from the sameMore star-fated city of Los Angeles, but will their individual complications stand in the way of blissful reunion back stateside? Izzy still has to contend with her sort-of fiance, Everett, while Leo's recently widowed father, angst-ridden younger brother, and drama-prone sister present their own challenges. Originally billed as, "a prolonged examination of a love affair," and produced by the acclaimed team behind thirtysomething and My So-Called Life , Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, this short-lived ABC drama ultimately fell victim to a cursed time-slot and low ratings.

    The short-lived drama, made by the creators of "thirtysomething" and "My So-Called Life", is about Isabel Lukens who goes to Italy, meet and fall in love with fellow American Leo Roth in their twenties. The best short-lived drama of the 90's. hide show

    I was a fan of the show since it started in the fall of 1996 and was cancelled in the spring of 1997. I was fifteen years old, when the show started. I was sixteen, when the show ended. I remember when it was on the Saturdays at 10pm timeslot. It was up against CBS's "Walker: Texas Ranger" and NBC's "Profiler". The drama was moved to Monday nights up against The WB's "7th Heaven" and Fox's "Melrose Place". It's the twenty-something version of "My So-Called Life". It's one of the best angst dramas that Herskovitz and Zwick created.
