Breaking Away

Breaking Away (1980-1981)

EndedScripted show

Sunny-natured Dave Stohler (Shaun Cassidy), affectionately dubbed Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Ravioli by his friends, is passionate about bicycle racing and all things Neapolitan. He particularly loves the combination of the two, like Italian bikes or biking Italians. His friends include athletic Mike (Tom Wiggin), wry Cyril (Thom Bray), and practical Moocher (Jackie Earle Haley), who reacts physically if called "Shorty." As the four high school graduates navigate their futures, two things are certain: they will stay together and often clash with the guys from Fraternity Row in their Midwestern college town. Dave's parents (Vincent Gardenia and Barbara Barrie) observe them with a mix of love, concern, exasperation, and the hope that a film adaptation of an Oscar-winning movie set in Bloomington, Ind., will also be successful in Peoria—on TV.

Just up the river from our nation's capital lies a hidden gem—Potomac, Maryland. Its rolling hills, gated mansions, sophisticated prep schools, and exclusive country clubs all serve to keep the area invitation-only. Sprinkled throughout this community are a handful of old-line, wealthy African-American families who have historically broken racial barriers to provide a life of privilege for their children. The Real Housewives of Potomac follows the upscale lives of six intriguing, well-to-do women: Gizelle Bryant, Katie Rost, Karen Huger, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, Robyn Dixon, and Ashley Darby, all of whom have fought for their places in this society by way of legacy or marriage. In a town where entry is granted only through class, pedigree, and lineage, how far will these ladies go to secure their spot at the top of this prestigious circle?
