TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

wsutton_49 Apparently the biggest snag in trying to get this wonderful show to DVD is the music from the show and the cost of securing the rights to the soundtrack music. This has happened to many DVD releases, from "Tour of Duty" to "WKRP in Cincinnati". Those releases were greatly disappointing when they came out and they were poor sellers as a result. In many cases, changing the music selections totally changes the mood and atmosphere, affecting our enjoyment. I'm not sure I would like a release if the jukebox selections were messed with! Shame this happens!

mduff-3 I've looked for a DVD of the series, but none seems to be available for Frank's Place. That's just a shame. It may seem strange to read this, given the characterization of Frank's Place as a half-hour comedy, but I really do think this was the best television show ever made. Yes, better than the Sopranos, better than Blackadder, better than Your Show of Shows. The writing had enormous depth without ever condescending to the audience. The performances were universally appropriate and adept. It had the quality of rare literature: It combined longing and wonder and reticence and grace. I was in a pub once in Ireland and a rerun of the show came on and I made the bartender leave it on, and the crowd there shook their heads and talked about how American television was supposed to be bad. They were surprised by the quality of the show, and the Irish are a literary bunch. BET has shown the series once or twice, and if they do again, I'll dust off the old VHS and tape it. This is a show that deserves to have a thousand lives.

momsatrekkie There must be SOME way that "Frank's Place" could be released on DVD! I have never felt as strongly about any other TV show and am as angry today as I was 20 years ago when CBS pulled the plug on it. This show had everything -- an excellent cast, tremendous scripts, and a setting that brought back memories of a city that I love. I wish that I would have taped the shows back then and am envious of those of you who had the foresight to do so. Frank's Place was ahead of it's time -- but would probably not have a huge following even in today's world because it was too quirky for the average sitcom watcher. I feel fortunate that I was able to see it the first time around and pray that (eventually) DVDs will be released and I can visit the Chez one more time.

aussie-20 I've got to agree, this is closer to real Louisiana folks & New Orleans than anything else you'll find, and there's a lot of heart to it. I sense that the series was a labor of love, and I wish I could have it on DVD, along with Evening Shade.
