Breaking Away Set one year prior to the actions in the 1979 Academy Award-winning movie and starring Shaun Cassidy, it got caught up in the 1980 Hollywood writers’ strike, meaning it didn’t premier on ABC-TV until after Thanksgiving 1980. Eight episodes were shot, but only seven aired. _ **-“BB”-** _ ---
