Divorce may be the end of their marriages, but it's the beginning of a fresh start for Kate and Allie, lifelong friends who combine two halves from two different households by moving into one New York City home. If they thought living with their ex-husbands was a headache, wait until their own personalities clash while trying to raise three children. Freely outspoken Kate (Susan Saint James) and hilariously uptight Allie (Jane Curtin, who won two Emmy Awards for her role) have their hands full juggling new romances, new jobs and new lives as independent women in Kate & Allie, the touching, poignantly funny TV series that proves a family can be formed wherever there is love.
