One of my all time favorite shows. It's quirky and funny. Acting is first rate, and, the plot lines are definitely original.
Sure, there are many goofs during filming that weren't edited out, but that doesn't take anything away from a great classic dramedy. I'm especially fond of the Chris Steven's character with his obsession with flinging objects with a catapult! The first time this is addressed is when he wants to fling a cow, until someone points out that Monty Python already did that...he's crushed and dejected until Maggie loses her house in a fire. Amid the rubble, he finds her charred piano and has an epiphany.! When it went off the air, I bought the entire series including the original first season which came in a padded zippered parka case with a little silver moose as the zipper pull! Unfortunately, the following seasons were never available in this unique packaging...oh well. I still watch this series every couple years and reminisce.
