''Free to Be... A Family'' was a widely-discussed television special hosted by Marlo Thomas broadcast on December 14, 1988. It was especially notable as a joint production of ABC and Soviet Russia, then three years from collapse. It was a sequel to the popular 1974 ABC Afterschool Special ''Free to Be... You and Me'', also hosted by Thomas. Among the performers on the 1988 show were The Muppets, Jon Bon Jovi, Penn and Teller, Carly Simon, Lily Tomlin, and Robin Williams. After her husband, noted talk show host Phil Donahue hosted a series of U.S.-Russian space-bridge telecasts throughout the `80's, Thomas decided that this kind of international understanding and cooperation should start at a much earlier age. "The purpose of the special was to emphasize the fact that kids in the U.S. and Russia are much the same and can relate to one another, in hopes of bringing peace between the nations." Prior to the television special, there was a book, with contributions by Christopher Cerf among others, and a record album, both under the same title. It won the 1989 Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Program.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Outstanding Children's Program - 1989 )〕 == Other editions == * A&M Records SP 5196, 1988 soundtrack, ''Free to Be...
