Progger1953 I was contacted in 2002 by Fox TV and they wanted me to send them the series on tape. They said that when they did a search, I was the only person on the internet that showed that I had a copy. They were willing for me to name my price. I only charged $40 for 4 tape. I actually had to re-record the original recordings to take at the commercials originally. Too bad I just didn't record them at "sp" speed and save them for dvdrs. Though I do have them on dvdr, but not the best of quality. I asked these guys why they contacted me and they said that they were going to do a TV series and hope that Fresno gives them some ideas. Notice the weird brother on Fresno and David Cross on AD. Also the form of transportation on fresno is an older chevy station wagon with the back seat facing out. On ad they have the passenger transport truck from an airport. I just wish I could remember the names of the Fox people who I talked to and sent the tapes to.

tcal37 How I would love to see it again, and yet it is never seen. I asked a well-known movie producer/director who had cas Charles Grodin in one of his films, and even had had never seen it. Carol Burnett, Charles Grodin, Jeffrey Jones (Mr. Acme of the Acme Toxic Waste Company) were outstanding. My favorite line: The matriarch, Carol Burnett, to her poor, overworked peon Juan, who has asked her for a raise (she continually cut his wages) so he could feed and clothe his family: "Juan, I have seen what your family eats and wears, and it couldn't cost THAT much." Second favorite line: When Terri Garr (who walks around all day in a teddy) "accidentally" bumps into Torch at the bunkhouse: "What are you doing here," she asks. "Just came back to change my shirt," says Torch, who carries a perfectly pressed shirt around all day but never puts it on.

dljameyson I still pull my copy of this one out every now and then to watch it. I've got the original broadcast recording of it that I taped myself....cut the commercials and everything. The quality is not great, but it's good enough to still enjoy immensely. If memory serves, the ratings for this mini-series were less than stellar. I can't remember what was going on that week, but it seems there was something big going on that prevented a lot of people from viewing this classic. Everyone in this production is at the top of their game and deserves recognition for it. Hopefully it will make it to DVD someday....I'll be first in line!

Gokyo This soap spoof is really the best I've ever seen. For a distracted viewer, it would have appeared as a genuine soap with idiotic plots to catch your attention. The cast, especially Carol Burnett and Dabney Coleman, were really "into" their roles. Torch is the epitome of the "pool boy" type of character you always find in the Dallas/Dynasty kind of series. I wish I could get my hands (and eyes'n'ears) on a copy of this "mini" as it is referred to.
