The Lost Project: Rob Lowe's Early Career Sitcom 'A New Kind of Family

Rob Lowe, a well-known actor, had a lost project from his early career that remains inaccessible to the public. The sitcom, "A New Kind of Family," aired for just one season in the late 1970s and featured Lowe in his first acting role. The show revolved around two families sharing a house due to financial constraints, with Lowe playing a prominent role as Kit's eldest child. Despite efforts to revamp the show mid-season, it failed to attract viewers and was ultimately canceled. The series also marked the screen debut of singer and actress Janet Jackson. Despite receiving an Emmy nomination for editing, the show is not available on home media or through conventional means, making it a challenge for fans to access.
