Overview

Coming of Age is a situation comedy that aired briefly on the CBS television network in the United States for three runs in 1988 and 1989.

Coming of Age features Paul Dooley and Phyllis Newman as a couple, Dick and Ginny Hale, living in a fictional retirement community, The Dunes, in Arizona. Retirement had not really been their, or at least, Dick's, idea – a former airline pilot, he had been forced to retire by a Federal Aviation Administration rule which requires all U.S. commercial pilots to retire by age 60. Dick hated almost everything about his retirement, including his surroundings. He was appalled by the hot climate, the thin walls separating the Hale's apartment from those of their neighbors Alan Young and Glynis Johns and, apparently, mostly by the contented attitude that most of the other residents expressed.

This program was first aired as a midseason replacement in March 1988; although in was apparently not well received and was pulled after only three episodes were aired, it was nonetheless added to the CBS 1988 fall lineup. There, it failed again, and was quickly pulled. The airing of some more episodes in June and July 1989 was apparently a "run-off", an attempt to recoup at least some of the investment in the show by using it as filler during the traditionally low-rated summer months.

Overview

In Coming of Age leben Paul Dooley und Phyllis Newman als Paar, Dick und Ginny Hale, in einer fiktiven Seniorenresidenz namens The Dunes in Arizona. Ruhestand war nicht wirklich ihre Idee, oder zumindest Dicks – er war ein ehemaliger Pilot und wurde durch eine Vorschrift der Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) zum Ruhestand gezwungen, die alle US-Verkehrspiloten verpflichtet, mit 60 in den Ruhestand zu gehen. Dick hasste fast alles an seinem Ruhestand, auch seine Umgebung. Er war entsetzt über das heiße Klima, die dünnen Wände, die die Wohnung der Hales von denen ihrer Nachbarn Alan Young und Glynis Johns trennten, und anscheinend vor allem über die zufriedene Haltung, die die meisten anderen Bewohner an den Tag legten.
