1st & Ten
A brash, no-nonsense sports anchor and her bumbling, aging quarterback father navigate the chaos of cable TV and family life in this groundbreaking HBO sitcom that pushes the boundaries of comedy.
1st & Ten is an American situation comedy that aired between December 1984 and January 1991 on the cable television network HBO. Featuring series regulars Delta Burke and veteran Reid Shelton, it was one of cable television's early original comedies and among the first scripted series to be produced for the network. The show centered on the personal and professional lives of the employees of a struggling football team, using the behind-the-scenes antics of the staff to explore themes of ambition, relationships, and the pressures of the sports industry.
