Once and Again was a drama series created by Edward Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz, who besides were the driving forcefulness behind thirtysomething and My So-Called Life, and it starred Sela Ward, Baton Campbell, and Evan Rachel Forest, amid others.

Rick Sammler, a divorced architect, and Lily Manning, a soon-to-exist-divorced salesperson, See Cute when Lily takes her daughter Grace to run across the school doctor during a soccer game while Rick is waiting with his son Eli to see the principal. They shortly become romantically involved, but their relationship is complicated non only by their children (they each have ii; Rick'south son Eli and girl Jessie, while Lily has two daughters, Grace and Zoe), but also their respective exes (Jake and Karen).

The show ran for three seasons (from 1999-2002) on ABC, and while it didn't earn the acclaim of their previous show My So-Called Life, it was praised for its handling of the teen characters, and was probably the show that first brought Mischa Barton and Evan Rachel Wood to people'south attention. The show was also known for having the characters speak their innermost thoughts in blackness-and-white segments scattered throughout each episode.


This prove provides examples of:

  • Almost Kiss: Eli and Grace have one of these before Jessie interrupts them.
  • Brother–Sis Incest: Downplayed on Eli's office, simply while Grace'southward feelings for him fluctuate throughout the series, at that place's still a pretty strong Incest Subtext at that place.
  • Closet Gay: Jessie and Katie, as they take to go along their relationship a cloak-and-dagger.
  • Cupboard Fundamental: Jessie discovers she is attracted to another girl: upperclassman Katie Vocalist (Mischa Barton) whom she befriended.
  • Crossover: Miles Dentrell from thirtysomething appears as a recurring character here. Until he kicks information technology.
  • Darker and Edgier: While Season ane had its heavy storylines (Eli having problem with reading and concentrating in schoolhouse), it balanced it with lighter moments. Season 2, on the other hand...
  • Flirty Stepsiblings: Eli towards Grace.
  • The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: Lily and Judy have this throughout the series. Grace and Jessie have this to a lesser extent in Flavour 3 - or at least, Grace feels this way.
  • Grey-and-Gray Morality: Just as in My So-Called Life, anybody is portrayed every bit having their faults and their virtues. The worst on the prove is Miles Dentrell, and even he gets to prove a human side.
  • Heroic BSoD: Jessie has ane when she finds out Karen was striking by a auto.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: Jessie and Katie. Eventually it turns romantic.
  • Earnest Situation: In the Season ii episode "The Other Terminate of the Telescope", a busboy at Jake'southward restaurant (played past Brian Cracow) takes the eating place hostage later Jake fires him.
  • I Have This Friend: Subverted in the Season 2 episode "Best of Enemies"; when Grace brings up anorexia, Judy thinks Grace is having problems with information technology, but Grace is actually talking about Jessie.
  • Literary Allusion Title: Various episodes are named after either songs (Season 2 episodes "Wake Up,Little Susie", "The Other Terminate of the Telescope") or movies (Season 1 episode "My Brilliant Career", Flavor 2 episode "Thieves Like United states of america"), and even plays ("Beloved's Laborer's Lost") or poems ("Ozymandius 2.0").
  • Lipstick Lesbian: Jessie and Kate eventually. Lipstick bisexuals in their case.
  • Love Revelation Epiphany: Katie acknowledges her own romantic feelings towards Jessie with a dearest letter.
  • Loads and Loads of Characters: In addition to Rick, Lily, their children and their exes, there's as well Lily's sister Judy, Rick'southward co-worker David (at to the lowest degree until he was Put on a Passenger vehicle) and several others with recurring roles.

$$

  • My Dear Smother: Both Eli and Jessie run across Karen as this.
  • No Periods, Catamenia: Averted with Jessie; when she gets her first menstruum (in the kickoff season episode "There Be Dragons"), in that location's no attempt to make this a Very Special Episode, every bit both Rick and Karen have an appropriate response, and when Jessie gets angry at her father later that episode, there's no connection.
    • Also, there's an episode where Lily thinks she might be significant, but it turns out to be a false alarm. She finds out she'due south pregnant in the season finale, though.
  • Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: In one of the black-and-white segments, Grace gushes about how cool Judy's life has been, and mentions Judy was once involved with a Doobie Blood brother - "whatever that is."
  • Put on a Charabanc: David, as well every bit the ex-boyfriends of Karen (Lloyd Lloyd and Leo) and Judy (Sam Bluish and Will Gluck), Eli'south ex-girlfriends Jennifer and Carla, and Jake'south ex-girlfriend Tiffany.
    • The Bus Came Back: Sam and Tiffany.
  • Secret Relationship: The two girls Jessie and Katie quietly brainstorm dating while hiding their romance from everyone, in what became the first teen lesbian romance on American network tv set.
  • Shout-Out: In "Best of Enemies", Judy gives Jessie a re-create of the book The Middle Is A Lonely Hunter, which she said helped her get through high school.
  • Teacher/Student Romance: Ultimately averted, just Grace does develop strong feelings for Mr. Dimitri throughout Season iii.
  • There Are No Therapists: Subverted with Jessie - every bit she's sent to encounter Dr. Rosenfeld in Season 2 - but played straight with the other characters, particularly Grace.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Eli in Season 3. He got better, though.
  • Unfortunate Names: Karen's boyfriend for office of Season 1 was Lloyd Lloyd. Lampshaded by Eli, Jessie and Rick in Flavor i, and past Judy in Flavor ii.
  • Wild Teen Political party: In a flavor 1 episode, both Eli and Grace (without Lily knowing) stop up attending a teen party, during which a classmate of theirs accidentally overdoses. Judy agrees to keep it a clandestine, merely Rick ends up telling Lily about what happened anyway.
