BABY BOOM - THE COLLECTION (NBC 1988) VERY RARE!!! Kate Jackson, Sam Wanamaker, Joy Behar, Robyn Peterson, Susie Essman, Daniel Bardol
Baby Boom was a short-lived comedy series based on the 1987 Diane Keaton film of the same name, created by Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer.
J.C. Wiatt (Kate Jackson, "Charlie's Angels") was the picture of Yuppiedom, a stylish, single, Harvard-educated lawyer aggressively pushing her way up the executive ladder at a large corporation. Dates called her "The Tiger Lady". Then on her doorstep appeared baby Elizabeth (Kristina and Michelle Kennedy), left to her by a recently deceased English relative. J.C.'s high-powered career was thrown into turmoil.
She tried hard to juggle the demands of instant motherhood and career, but never could seem to decide which life she wanted. Seemingly oblivious to her plight were Fritz Curtis (Sam Wanamaker), her demanding boss; secretary Charlotte Elkman (Susie Essman); fellow lawyer Arlene Mandell (Robyn Peterson); and officious young assistant Ken Arrenberg (Daniel Bardol), who was constantly angling for her job. Helga Von Haupt (Joy Behar) was the fearsome nanny who took care of Elizabeth while J.C. played office politics.
