That Was Then Formerly Fridays at 9:00 pm on WCHS-TV8 That Was Then to be on hiatus. Susan Lyne, president, ABC Entertainment, announced as of this Friday, October 11, "That Was Then" will be on broadcast hiatus. "'That Was Then,' it was a good show in a bad time period. We have six remaining episodes that we fully anticipate trying in a different time slot later on."
Travis Glass is about to turn 30 and his life couldn't be worse.He's a door-to-door door salesman. He lives at home with his mom, Mickey, a widowed homemaker with a caustic but loving edge. Meanwhile Claudia, the girl of his dreams, is married to Gregg, his obnoxious older brother. Fortunately Travis has one solace in this unsatisfying life -- Gregg and Claudia's 10-year-old son, Ethan, whom Travis adores. Travis' descent into loserdom dates back to a fateful and humiliating week in high school. Now, on the eve of his 30th birthday, Travis tells his best friend, Pinkus, that he has only one wish: A second chance. Even Ms. Frisch, his former, quirky English teacher, advises him to just enjoy the life he has. But Travis wants to be able to go back in time to win over Claudia and give the prize-winning speech he couldn't manage to give the first time. Be careful what you wish for... That night, while lying on his bed listening to the '80s song "Do It Again" by The Kinks, a bolt of lightning hits the house. An electrical jolt sends Travis back in time -- to 1988 - when he was 16 and hope was still alive, as was his dad, Gary "Double G" Glass. Travis doesn't dare tell his unbelievable secret to Zooey, his ten-year-old sister. But he does let his best buddy Pinkus in on it. Together, they are determined that this time Travis will give the speech and get the girl. But things don't go entirely as planned. With his first foray into the past, Travis manages to win then lose Claudia's affections, save a life, jeopardize his parents' marriage and inspire his class with his newfound wisdom. A million things seem to go wrong, but one thing definitely goes right: Claudia and Gregg break up. Just when it seems that Travis will get his dream girl after all, he hears again The Kinks' tune that sent him back in time. He is immediately transported back to his 30th birthday. Only this time he awakens to his smothering wife (not Claudia), their twin girls and his career as town mayor! Adding to Travis' confusion is the realization that the present-day Pinkus is no longer his buddy. There has been no marriage between Gregg and Claudia, and so Travis' beloved nephew, Ethan, does not exist. For Travis this new scenario is even worse than the life he started with. Now all he wants to do is go back in time once again and try to make everything right. But how can he put things right when every move he makes results in a new and totally unexpected future?
