Gimme A Break!: Season One

Nell Carter shines as Nellie Ruth "Nell" Harper, the role that twice earned her

 Emmy^® and Golden Globe Award nominations, and helped redefine the meaning of "family."

Available for the first time ever on DVD, Gimme a Break! is the funny, hip and sometime poignant

portrayal of the Kanisky family: widowed Police Chief; his three daughters Katie, Julie and Samantha;

and their unflappable housekeeper-turned-surrogate mother (Carter).

This 3-disc set includes 19 episodes from Season One, as well as the preview from Season Two,

bonus episode from the smash -hit sitcom Kate and Allie and Charles In Charge, and a special featurette that takes

a look back at other great TV shows of the eighties. Featuring renowned guest stars such as Danny Glover,

Rue McClanahan and Helen Hunt, Gimme a Break! is the beloved sitcom that delivers both love and laughs.

Wisecracks and fat jokes abounded, but there was a lot of love as Nell tried to be friend and

surrogate mother to the family. Enjoy this classic 80's sitcom now available
