Teenage Rob Lowe’s Early TV Debut in ABC Sitcom ‘A New Kind of Family’
Before becoming a household name and part of the iconic 'Brat Pack,' Rob Lowe made his television debut at the age of 15 in the short-lived ABC sitcom 'A New Kind of Family' (1979–1980). In the show, he portrayed Tony Flanagan, the teenage son of Kit Flanagan, played by Eileen Brennan. The series followed the story of two single mothers, one widowed and the other divorced, who accidentally lease the same house and decide to raise their families together to save money. Despite its unique premise and a promising young cast, including Lauri Hendler, David Hollander, and later additions like Telma Hopkins and a young Janet Jackson, the show struggled in the ratings. According to Lowe, it ranked last in the Nielsen ratings, 62 out of 62 shows at the time, leading to a mid-season retool and eventual cancellation in January 1980. Although the series was short-lived, it served as a stepping stone for Rob Lowe, who would go on to star in successful films like 'The Outsiders' (1983) and 'St. Elmo’s Fire' (1985), establishing himself as a prominent figure in Hollywood.
