Civil Wars is an American legal drama that aired on ABC from November 20, 1991 to March 2, 1993. The series was produced by Steven Bochco. After a brief syndicated run on the FX Network in the mid 1990s, the series has not aired since.

Synopsis

The series focused on the lives and cases of New York City divorce attorneys. It had a famously misanthropic opening credits sequence; in it, romantic photo albums were shown as the voice track played couples ripping into each other in court, as each of the show's principal attorneys interrogated them, one by one, on the stand.

Cast

Mariel Hemingway as Sydney Guilford
Peter Onorati as Charlie Howell
Alan Rosenberg as Eli Levinson
Debi Mazar as Denise Iannello
David Marciano as Jeffrey Lassick

Two of the characters lived on longer than the show itself. After Civil Wars was cancelled, Eli Levinson (Rosenberg) and Denise Iannello (Mazar) were transplanted to the Final Season 8 of L.A. Law, even though L.A. Law aired on NBC and Civil Wars aired on ABC.
