This evocative drama -- set against the memorable,
upbeat sounds of the 1960s -- depicts a more innocent
America as seen through the youthful Pryor family of
Philadelphia as they brace for cultural turbulence
ahead that still resonates in this contemporary era.
Likable 15-year-old daughter Meg strains against her
“good girl” image -- and yearns to embrace the mores of
her more experienced teenaged friend, Roxanne -- as they
achieve their goal of becoming dancers on Dick Clark’s
locally produced “American Bandstand.”
Meg’s evolving behavior and her mother, Helen’s, new
influences clash with rock-solid family patriarch Jack Pryor.
JJ Pryor resents his father imposing his dream of seeing
his teenaged son play Notre Dame football. The youngest
son is Will, and Patty is the prissy little sister
who can do no wrong.
In addition, Henry is an employee in Jack Pryor’s electronics
store. Sam, Henry’s son, receives a track scholarship at East
Catholic High School. It’s through their eyes that viewers
witness the upcoming civil rights struggles of the 1960s.
Rebeca Sandstorm is a thought-provoking new friend to Helen,
and Michael Brooks is American Bandstand's associate producer.
