Does anyone remember this show? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_Goes_On_(TV_series)I think it was a series with a well-intentioned (and unique)concept, with a pretty poor execution. I don't mean to rag on the poor guy who played Corky because I'm sure he was trying his best but... this was not a good show. I blame the writers for making the episodes so cheesy when they could have been more creative and made Corky a more developed character. Here's the basic plot of every epiosode- People try to take advantage of Corky and he gets his feelings hurt, and/or Corky screws something up without meaning to. |

You know maybe in hindsight, it may have not of been the best idea to give the special kid the nickname Corky. Its as if the producers wanted to cause even more humiliation for special kids.

I liked this show. They ruined it when Becca and Tyler finally get together, whom she had crushed hard for her whole life, only for her to dump him for a guy with AIDS a few episodes later. The show then turned completing about the AIDS guy. Only good episode after that was when Tyler died which was so sad to watch because Becca was the root cause for it all.

I liked the show in the beginning but got bored with it after the first couple seasons.

I confuse it with Empty Nest, but only due to the Theme Jingle.

Never seen the show but casting someone with Downs Syndrome was pretty revolutionary at the time.

Didn't Life Goes On do some kind of crazy turn in the last season where aliens showed up?

Tyler had the mullet right? I remember an episode where Corky was the babysitter to another down syndrome kid and Tyler and other kids barged in and the kids father played by Paul Gleason wasn't sure if Corky could be a babysitter anymore.

I thought the Aliens took him away to some backwater planet called Naboo where he later became their Senator in the Galactic Republic. He claims he's going to rule the galaxy, ya right... but it's good to have goals in life. |

I remember hearing the song on the radio one day and being like "Hey, the Life Goes on theme song!" My father swiftly replied "What? It's The Beatles, you idiot."
