1st & Ten

Overview

1st & Ten is a groundbreaking sitcom that ran from December 1984 to January 1991 on HBO, aiming to capture the lucrative comedy audience typically dominated by major networks. Starring Delta Burke alongside seasoned actor Reid Shelton, the show stood out for its bold content, incorporating occasional profanity and nudity—elements that cable allowed, but traditional networks often avoided. By blending sports and humor, it carved a niche in the television landscape, appealing to viewers looking for a more adult-oriented comedic experience.
