It's frustrating when only part of a series gets released - like Sliders or the cartoon series Gargoyles it's no small wonder that people find go arounds to the studio releases.

Bruce Springsteen HAS previously endorsed a candidate. Four years ago he gave a free street concert, open air stage on West Washington Avenue in Madison Wisconsin, endorsing John Kerry. The crowd (University of Wisconsin Madison) filled the street for blocks. I can still see that photo of the crowd! You are incorrect.

Then the network cancelled the great show because of "poor ratings". ABC did the same thing to "Police Squad"-cancelling it after 4 weeks on the air, because, (to quote a network spokeperson), "You had to watch it in order to appreciate it". NBC cancelled "Second City Television Network", because of poor ratings 12:30 am to 2:00 am Saturday morning. "Frank's Place" was an excellent show and it was probably too good for a media that is constanly aiming for the lowest, and cheapest, type of program that appeals to the most amount of people. Thank goodness for PBS and TCM! CBS bounced "Frank's Place" all over the schedule until people got tired of looking for it. Then the network cancelled the great show because of "poor ratings".

I've been fantasizing about having the too few episodes of Frank's Place in my collection for years. Whoever can make it happen--please do it! You read my mind.

When does our "New World" begin to sacrifice their Greed and Money for art and lifestyle? it's a shame...

We're talking 20 years ago -- just 20 years! -- since we had such fine, high quality programs as ALF, Mama's Family, and Perfect Strangers. How far we have fallen. I agree with Lagniappe.
