Beloved funnyman John Ritter (
8 Simple Rules, Three's Company) and
Night Court's Markie Post heat up the screen in this irresistible TV comedy! One of the best-loved series of the '90s,
Hearts Afire ignites laughter with its sizzling chemistry, razor-sharp dialogue and stellar cast, including the Oscar -winning Billy Bob Thornton as Ritter's best buddy.
In Washington, D.C., senator's aide and divorced dad John Hartman (Ritter) lives and works strictly by the book...except when it comes to brand-new press secretary Georgie Lahti (Post), a sassy, risk-taking rebel. They couldn't be more different, yet a passionate romance develops that changes their lives. Adding to the craziness, the couple must cope with Lahti's ex-con dad (Ed Asner,
The Mary Tyler Moore Show), Billy Bob's estranged wife (Wendie Jo Sperber,
Bosom Buddies) and their slightly scatterbrained boss (George Gaynes,
Tootsie).
