Related is an American comedy-drama series that aired on The WB network during the 2005-2006 television season. It revolved around the lives of four close-knit sisters - of Italian descent, raised in Brooklyn - living in New York City.
The show was created by former Sex and the City writer Liz Tuccillo, and executive produced by Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman. Despite heavy promotion, initial ratings did not warrant the show being picked up for a second season when The WB network was folded into The CW.
The untitled Related theme song is sung by The Veronicas, whose music was regularly featured in episodes.
Vito Joseph Lopez (born 1941) is an American politician, member of the New York State Assembly, and chairman of the Democratic Party of Kings County.
Born in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, of an Italian-American family, his last name Lopez derives from his grandfather, who is a Spanish native. Vito Lopez graduated from Brooklyn's James Madison High School, and received a BS in Business Administration from Long Island University (1964), and a Master of Social Work from Yeshiva University (1970).
Lopez and his former wife, Joan, have two grown children. His long-time girlfriend, Angela Battaglia, is Director of Housing for Ridgewood Bushwick Senior Citizens Council, and a member of the New York City Planning Commission.
Lopez was diagnosed with leukemia in 1993, and in 2010 was treated for a recurrence of cancer.
Lopez began his career with the New York City Department of Social Services, at the Stanhope Street Senior Center in Bushwick, Brooklyn. In 1973 Lopez founded Ridgewood Bushwick Senior Citizens Council (RBSCC), a non-profit organization to provide services to senior citizens in Bushwick, Brooklyn, Ridgewood, Queens, and surrounding neighborhoods.
