    Where The Heart Is

    1 9 6 9 – 1 9 7 3 (USA)
    910 x 25 minute episodes

    This soap opera from CBS revolved around the conflicts, tensions and lives of the close-knit but dysfunctional Hathaway family of Northcross, Connecticut.

    The serial opened on 8 September 1969 with the death of pious Hathaway family patriarch Judge Daniel Hathaway. Judge Hathaway had three adult children: Julian (James Mitchell), a professor of literature at the local university; Kate (Diana van der Vlis), a sympathetic but sexually repressed law student, and Allison (Louise Shaffer), the liberated feminist black sheep of the family.

    Having never gained his father’s love, Julian sought affection amongst the many young women he taught at Northcross University. He had recently married nubile Mary (Diana Walker) – his adult son Michael’s former girlfriend.

    Throughout its three-and-a-half-year run, Where the Heart Is was recorded on videotape at the CBS Broadcast Center Studio #44 in New York.

    It fared badly in the Nielsen Audience Ratings and failed to attract the viewing demographic preferred by advertisers. The series finally ended on 23 March 1973 and was replaced by The Young and the Restless, which would become the most popular TV soap opera in America for three decades.
