Welcome Home, Bobby is a made-for-TV movie that aired on the U.S. television network CBS in early 1986, and was one of the first TV movies in the U.S. to portray openly gay teenagers. The plot centered around a troubled high school student (Timothy Williams) from an old-fashioned Italian family, who, even though he has a girlfriend (Nan Woods) at school, falls in love with an older man in his mid-thirties, and then finds himself the object of ridicule, both at school and at home with his father, played by Tony Lo Bianco. The movie also starred Adam Baldwin, John Karlen and Moira Harris.
Although the TV movie carried a message for the gay community and its acceptance into the mainstream, CBS only aired Welcome Home, Bobby once. It was filmed on location in Illinois in the spring of 1985.
