What small town?

The info sheet says it was filmed in "a small California town."
Does anyone know which one?

It was Los Olivos California not far from Ronald Reagan's ranch.

Thank you much! I'll add it to the list of small towns I plan on visiting.

Isn't Los Olivos where Michael Jacksons ranch is?

Actually it is. Micheal Jackson's "Neverland" ranch is about 10 miles from Los Olivos as well as David Cassidy and Steven Segals. Bob Eubanks, Bo Derek, and many other celebs own ranches in the vicinity. I lived in this area for many years and watched then film this show. I also had friends that worked at Jackson's ranch while he was alive.

I just read they filmed this in February 86. It aired in April 13 1986. Could this be true that they filmed and edited this so fast? Do you remember when you saw it being filmed?
