"Bring in your Bad, Myrtle" Pilot Episode #1 Production #4801 (airdate: Sep. 10, 1988)
BABY BOOM, the series, takes over where the hit movie left off, telling the story of J.C. Wiatt, career woman extraordinaire. As a beautiful and successful career woman, her life defines the term Yuppie until she inherits a baby girl named Elizabeth. This adds an interesting twist to both her professional and personal lives in MGM/UA Television’s “BABY BOOM,” written by Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer.
J.C. attempts to juggle motherhood and her busy working schedule, beginning with her daily ride on her exercise bike, with Elizabeth sitting behind her on a child’s seat. She them rushes off to work, working taking time to stop and look for Elizabeth’s lost “blankey.”  As J.C. enters her office, it becomes quite clear just how busy she is. We see her in and out of meeting and appointments, doing paperwork, shaking hands with other executives, yet always closely watching the clock. When lunch rolls around, she picks up Elizabeth so that they can attend their first “Mommy & Me” class. 
As the meeting progresses, she realizes that her daughter is only one not attending any classes. The other mothers have their youngsters attending violin, ballet, music appreciation, computer, soccer, and more. After class is over, Helga, J.C.’s live-in nanny, picks up Elizabeth and J.C. rushes back to work, only to find that her boss, Fritz, has hired a young (and obnoxious) Harvard grad named Ken to be her assistant. Although she’s been understaffed for years, she assumes that he has been brought on board because of the new baby in her life. Finally, at the end of her incredibly long day, she goes home to read a bedtime story to Elizabeth. As they crawl under the covers, lo and behold, the “blankey” appears. Both happy now, J.C. turns out the light right after she sets her alarm for 5 a.m., just to make sure that she beats Ken into the office the next morning.

Ever since Elizabeth entered her life, J.C. has not been able to spend time with Arlene. Next on her guilt list in her work. She has a reputation as the “tiger lady” but doesn’t think she’s living up to it, although she works nearly every waking hour of the day. Next she reflects about the lack of time she spends with her daughter and not being around to make her feel better when she falls down and scrapes her knee or when she learns how to skip for the first time. J. C. finally decides it time to do something about all these things she feels guilty about. She tries unsuccessfully to find a father for Elizabeth, then to spend an entire uninterrupted evening with Arlene, and finally to combine her time with Elizabeth with her office work, again causing sheer havoc.
