About Free Country
Free Country ended on July 22, 1978, after its first season aired on ABC. The show concluded its run in mid-1978, with no plans for continuation announced.
The series was a comedy-drama set in the early 1900s, focusing on Joseph Bresner, played by Rob Reiner, who was the head of a Lithuanian family that emigrated to New York City. Each episode depicted the 89-year-old Bresner reminiscing about his early life, with flashbacks showing the events of that time period. The show combined present-day reflections with historical scenes to tell its story.
The cast included Rob Reiner as Joseph Bresner, Judith Kahan as Anna Bresner, Renee Lippin as Ida Gewertzman, Fred McCarren as Sidney Gewertzman, Larry Gelman as Leo Gold, and Joe Pantoliano as Louis Peschi. The episodes had a runtime of approximately 30 minutes. Since the show ended in 1978 with only one season, there are no upcoming episodes or renewal plans.
