THIRTYSOMETHING: COUPLES (TV)
Summary
One in this series of dramas about the personal and professional dilemmas confronting a close-knit group of friends -- urban baby boomers in their thirties -- living in Philadelphia. In this episode, the Westons and the Steadmans have concerns about their marriages. The two couples go out for a pleasant dinner, but later Elliot and Nancy have a fight, something that has been occurring more frequently lately, leaving Hope and Michael feeling very uncomfortable. Elliot and Nancy try to overcome their differences, but every event seems to lead to an argument no matter how they try to avoid it. Meanwhile, Michael becomes hypersensitive to any criticism by Hope, and begins to worry that their marriage may be crumbling, too. Includes commercials, promos, and public service announcements. This program is closed-captioned.
