Deftly chronicling the quest for love and connection across a spectrum of sexual experiences, the star-studded, Peabody Award-winning PBS miniseries, Tales of the City: 20th Anniversary Edition is out on DVD. Based on the groundbreaking novel by Armistead Maupin, Tales of the City follows a colorful cast of characters living at 28 Barbary Lane in anything-goes 1970s San Francisco.
