Once and Again is an American television series that aired on ABC from September 21, 1999 to April 15, 2002. It depicts the family of a single mother and her romance with a single father. It was created by Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, the same team that created thirtysomething and produced My So-Called Life. One of the show's unique aspects was the "interview" sequences filmed in black and white and interspersed throughout each episode, where the characters would reveal their innermost thoughts and memories to the camera. Lily Manning is a suburban soccer mom in her forties, who... lives in Deerfield, Illinois. Recently separated from her philandering husband Jake , Lily is raising her two daughters, insecure, anxiety-ridden 14-year-old Grace , and wide-eyed, innocent 9-year-old Zoe . For support, she turns to her more free-spirited younger sister, Judy , with whom she works at their bookstore called My Sister's Bookstore .
