On this day, January 5, 1985, Berrenger’s premiered on NBC. This primetime soap opera centered around the Berrenger family and their glamorous, drama-filled lives running a high-end department store in New York City.

The series aimed to capture the allure of other successful 80s soaps like Dynasty and Dallas, but with a retail twist. Despite its intriguing premise and luxurious setting, Berrenger’s struggled to find an audience and was canceled after one season, with only 12 episodes produced.

Fun Fact: Though short-lived, Berrenger’s featured a cast that included rising stars and veteran actors, making it a unique addition to the 80s soap opera craze.

Did you ever watch Berrenger’s? How do you think it compared to other soap operas of the 80s?
