''Angie'' is an American sitcom that was originally broadcast by the ABC network from February 2, 1979 to September 4, 1980. The series was created by Garry Marshall and Dale McRaven, and produced by Miller-Milkis Productions (Miller-Milkis-Boyett in season two) in association with Paramount Television. The series starred Donna Pescow in the lead role, Robert Hays as her love interest and eventual husband, and Doris Roberts and Debralee Scott as her mother and sister, respectively. A DVD release of the series was announced, for release later in 2015.〔http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Angie-DVDs-Planned/21045〕 ==Premise== Philadelphia coffee shop waitress Angie Falco (Pescow) starts a romance with customer Bradley Benson (Hays), a pediatrician. While she assumes he is a struggling young doctor, he reveals that he is actually rebelling against his wealthy family, presumably residents in the Main Line region of the city's suburbs. (In response to Angie asking him just how wealthy, he replied, "You've heard of 'filthy rich?' We're disgusting.") The other Falco family members are Angie's mother Theresa (Roberts) and her younger sister Marie (Scott). Angie and Marie's father had walked out on the family many years earlier, but Theresa continued to set a place for him at the dinner table. Brad's relatives consist of his stuffy father Randall (John Randolph), his divorced sister, the overbearing Joyce (Sharon Spelman), and Joyce's daughter Hillary (Tammy Lauren). Angie forms a close bond with Hilary. Angie and Brad later marry, merging their two very different families: the blue-blooded Bensons and the urban Italian-American Falcos. The characters of Hilary Benson and Didi Malloy were not continued after the first season. Angie and Theresa later open a beauty parlor together, where they had to contend with a pleasure-seeking hairstylist, Gianni (Tim Thomerson). The series drew many comparisons to the CBS hit sitcom ''Rhoda'', in which the character of Angie Falco was seen as an Italian-Catholic version of Rhoda Morgenstern (Valerie Harper); both characters strove to break away from their ethnic, close-knit families to find their own voice in the world (however, Pescow, like the Rhoda character, is Jewish in real life). The constant presence of Angie's mother and sister was seen as similar to Rhoda's family setup of mother Ida (Nancy Walker) and sister Brenda (Julie Kavner). Angie's father being absent was also comparable to the later ''Rhoda'' plotline, in which Rhoda's father Martin (Harold Gould) separated from Ida. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angie (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
