I will happily pay someone for copies of Frank's Place (the Tim Reid show from CBS). Has anyone got any? Please email me at [email protected] . Thanks! This show was sweet and funny and sad and smart and clever and I was blown away at how all around great it was, and I was so angry when it got cancelled, and other total crap was left on.

I'm looking for copies of the show, too! I hardly remember it from the 80's. I just know I loved it and felt it was the best show I'd ever seen. And I'd really like to see it again. I also want to give a copy to a friend! Are there any copies out there for those of us who'd like to buy one?
sharePut me on the list - this was my all time favorite TV show!
shareIs there anyone we can write to or call to ask that they put it on DVD?
sharei unfortunately have no news for anyone, i would just like to also be contacted if anyone finds the show on DVD or VHS- my email is [email protected]
thanks!
We too wish we could provide everyone on this list with a source for this memorable series. Please contact us as well if anyone finds a DVD or video source for the series. Here's hoping.......
shareI have to have about six to eight episodes on tape but I have to dig them out (with my collection that could take about a week). Contact me at [email protected]
I've got 16 of the 22 episodes which I taped when they were origianlly shown on CBS or syndicated on BET, and which I've now transferred to DVD. Quality varies from pretty good to pretty poor on a couple of episodes - don't ask me why. I can dupe the DVD's for the cost of disc, padded envelope, and postage (about $3 total).Contact me at my listed email if you want them.
shareHi:
I have 21 of the 22 episodes, and am only missing episode 13 (don't recall the title, but Frank visits Bubba's house at Christmas). I'd be happy to swap the ones you're missing for episode 13 if you have it.
-Steve Hambric
Steve (sah19), if you still have the taped episodes from Frank's Place (minus 1), please email me ([email protected]. I would like you to make a copy for me. What's your price?
shareI will glady pay u for those copies. Please contact me at [email protected]
shareI'd love to get copies of those episodes, too. Could you contact me if you're interested--I'd pay, of course! [email protected]
Thanks!
Kevin
Do you by any chance still have Frank's Place available? I will be happy to pay almost any price for them. I know what it means to miss New Orleans...this would be a balm for the wounds. Thanks,
Karen
Peace and blessings,
Please let me know how to get a copy of your 21 epsodes.
Ill take it... email me from here ... give me a price
shareHi Steve,
I realize your message re Frank's Place is a few years old by now, but my husband and I are really, really hoping that you still have DVD copies available for sale. Please contact me at [email protected]. I'm a native of NOLa but living in NC, and Frank's Place always made me feel like I was at home again. Funny thing is, my husband, who I met in NC, is a native of NY, and Frank's Place was one of his most favorite TV series, as well! Thanks!
Maggie
Count me in on this too. Let me know how much and I'll take em. This is the Holy Grail of TV DVDs for me.
[email protected]
Man, I would so love to see this show again, Do you still have it? Is there any way to get copies? Why haven't they put it on DVD as wonderful as it was?!?
shareIf I can get video or dvd copies from anyone for Frank's Place, you can name your price! My father is still waiting (at 83 and in remission) and I would love to surprise him with episodes. It was our favorite show. Please email me at [email protected] and make a wonderful gentleman very happy.
Denise
john: I have ten of the episodes on tape; please let me know if we can swap for our missing ones -- I'm at [email protected] ... thanks, DanC
shareHi Dan,
I see I'm not the only fan of Frank's Place; it's one of the best show's ever.
Were you ever able to get copies of the episodes?
I would definitely pay for copies.
I tried Ebay but no luck.
Thanks,
Charles S.
John, if you and DanC can get together...you may have a complete set of good quality episodes of Frank's Place. I'm sure you'll get folks willing to purchase them. I know I'd be interested. [email protected]
shareif you still have those dvd please contact me at [email protected] I will be happy to pay you for them. Thanks.
shareJohnpd4419, Sorry, I don't see your email address under your profile. I'm very interested in getting a dvd.
Can you contact me [email protected]
I am not familar with this board but I couldn't find your email. I will take as many good quality episodes as I can get. Let me know. I only have one. Taped off the air and coverted to DVD, it is good quality, "Ed Chambers".
Thanks

My friend loves this show and I would like to purchase the 16 episodes from you at whatever your cost maybe. It would be a great gift for him. Please email me back, and let me know if I can purchase the dvd's from you. [email protected]
shareIf you are still able to make copies, please let me know. I loved this sitcom and to this day do not understand why it was cancelled!!!

shareI am looking for one episode of this series called "The King of Wall street",I am currently watching the other 20 or so episodes and find them as entertaining as ever. Let me know if you have this ep.
share[deleted]
I just emailed CBS--I wonder if we could get a campaign/petition together. The company could make a mint selling the series on DVD, if this discussion thread is any indication!
share[deleted]
I sent an email to Daphne Reid (Tim's wife). Here is my email:
I can't tell you how many people that I talk to, or how many places I read where there are many, many people looking for DVDs of Frank's place. Will the show ever be released?
Here is her reply:
I will put you on the list with those other wonderful people. We’re working on it.
Daphne
I'm glad to see I'm not alone in my love for what I consider the best show ever to appear on TV -- seriously (and I go back to the mid-1950's). I have about 20 of the episodes I recorded from BET but the quality is pretty crappy. I dragged them out recently after seeing Lisa Hamilton's film on Beah Richards, who gave what was possibly the most mesmerizing 5 minutes of performance in TV history in a Frank's Place episode (at the Chez, "They always treated us like ladies and gentlemen.")
Thanks for contacting Daphne, ed. I'll hold out for the DVD to update my collection.
I was shocked when I ran across this ongoing dialog about one of my favorite show of all times. Periodically, I still go into mourning over the cancellation of this show. I used to beg friends & family to watch this show.
John & Steve Hambric!!! Did you two ever hook-up??? Is it possible that John now has all 22 episodes on dvd now???
John, is your price still $3.00 ???
Can you guys contact me here or on my email address [email protected] I'd love a copy. Thanx, in advance,
I can't believe this! I have been looking for Frank's Place videos forever and now, with Katrina, I really am missing NO more than ever. Frank's place was the best series ever--too good for TV. I would gladly pay for this.
Please email me at [email protected]
Hi:
This is Steve Hambric again, and I truly apologize for posting about having nearly all the episodes, and then not checking the board again for several months. I've collected all the email addresses I saw in the responses, and will send a blanket email to you shortly about how we can best share the episodes amongst ourselves, without getting sued by the evil Viacom corporation.
If there's anyone who didn't include their email address in previous postings, please do so now.
Also, I'm still missing episode 13 (Holiday episode), so if anyone has it, let me know and I can distribute the complete collection. I promise to check in periodically over the next few weeks.
Kim and I have been watching the show over the past few nights to try to ease the pain over what's happened to N.O. It seems to work, although the title song brings the tears out.

You can add my name to the list of those looking for Frank's Place on Tape or DVD! It was such a GREAT show!!! And the sadness of Katrina made me think of it all the more!

Hi, Steve! You can add my name to the list! Frank's Place is one of my favorite shows of all time, and I would love to see it again!

Please put me on your list also. I have been looking for this this show on dvd for years. And with the devastation in New Orleans it would be great to feel some of the ambience of the city.
New Orleans will rise again !
gpromans:
Please post your email address so I can let you know when I send the DVDs out to the group.
-Steve Hambric
Howdy, I'm also interested in this show, even though I've never seen it.
It just sounds too good to miss out on and I really enjoy Tim Reid.
Could you e-mail me at [email protected].. but instead replace nospam.com with hotmail.com.
Thank you very much,
Jim.
I'd love a set as well. If you're still fulfilling orders, let me know. ([email protected])
In the post-Katrina environment, this would be a perfect time for the folks who own the rights to release the series and donate a chunk of the procedes to rebuilding New Orleans.

Please add me to your list for copies. I adored this show, as we all must since we still remember how very, very good it was after only one season and all these years. If only the powers that be ever read these boards. My address is [email protected]. Keeping a very good thought.

Please add me to the list for dvd's! My e-mail is [email protected]
I too love this show and would be willing to buy videos or dvds. Thanks!
Hi Steve,
I will trade the holiday episode (if my taped copy is still in good shape from a BET broadcast circa 1991) for a copy of "King of Wall Street" either on VHS or DVD-R/RW.
Rick -[email protected]
Please add me to the list of those who want Frank's Place on VHS or DVD!! That show was fabulous and I miss it.

Hey, steve please add me to the list for Frank,s Place my email is [email protected]
sharePut me on the list for copies. [email protected] I will see if I have the holiday episode.
shareSteve;
Please contact me. I too am intereseted in obtaining all 22 episodes of Frank's Place on DVD. Does anyone know why Paramont/ Viacom refuses to release them.
You would think they would be happy to take our money.
Could I please get copies of your episodes? F's P was truly a gem and one of a kind. My wife and I watched every episode and the show struck a cord deep deep down with both of us.
I know it's a pain in the A to make copies, but I'll pay whatever for your trouble. I wouldn't worry about the viacom suits, even they would probably find us not worth the trouble.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
A fan....
Hi Steve,
I went to school with Fran Roberts (I was her big sister at Mt. Carmel). I love that show and would love to have whatever copies you have of it. My email address is [email protected]
Please let me know the costs and how to get the money to you.
Best,
Yvette
I have one episode, "Ed Chambers". I taped it off the air and converted it to DVD, no commercials. I would call it very good quality. Would like to build my collection by trading for another good quality episode. Email me.

Please add me to the list for DVD - wyrm.com at gmail.com.
Having spent summers at my grandma's in Nyawlins, the show got my interest when it appeared on CBS. The characters, the writing, and the performances by the actors, however, were what kept me coming back week after week. Miss Marie was so much like many of my relatives in her genuine warmth and love - I truly felt I had gone back home, if only for 30 minutes every week.
Too bad HBO and Showtime were not doing "made-for" series back then - Frank's Place would have been perfect (and would have already been on DVD).
I really fell sorry for the U.S. in these situations, had this been shown in the U.K it would have had time to develop into a serious comedy no doubt, but American TV being dictated by advertisers and what they have to say meant this got cancelled cos the advertisers felt the demographic wasn't lucrative enough. well i guess they're sorry now as they could have made a mint off it.
shareTo those of you who didn't receive my direct email, or to those new to the thread, you can contact professor video (www.professorvideo.com) and arrange to trade something (other TV shows, blank recording media) for the complete set of Frank's Place episodes.
Let's all hope Viacom allows Tim and Daphne Reid the rights to the show so they can release it officially.
-Steve Hambric
I didn't see any of this thread until today. I would like to receive your
e-mail prior to visiting professorvideo.com just so I am sure to know what's what. Thank you.

GANG: please DO contact Professor Video (www.professorvideo.com);
he's on the up-and-up, and I arranged a swap with him for blank media.
Let Todd ([email protected]) know you're on
"Steve's discussion group" and he'll get back to you with details
-- it's a fair arrangement that he's made even more attractive
because SteveH traded him for some better-looking versions
of some episodes.

I have been looking for video/dvd of this show for YEARS! Thank-you, thnak-you, thank-you to all of you who are working to make this a reality! How is the quality on professor video's copies? Anyone seen them?
[email protected]
Help! I just got here! What's the latest? I just spent a couple of hours reading all the messages and catching up. Okay, two and a half hours because OthoJNoggle had me rolling on the floor laughing for thirty minutes. I'm going to check out Professor Video right after I leave here but first I'd like to say a few things.
1.Steve Hambric you're the greatest! Could you loan me a dollar? I know you've got it 'cause you've been doing a brisk (and much appreciated) trade for the past few months! Seriously though, thanks for helping to keep a great and badly mistreated show alive.
2.The idea for using a portion of the profits from the sales of DVDs made from the master tapes to help New Orleans recover from the hurricane is the best thing I've heard in YEARS and who wants to bet that if it had been New York or Washington, D.C. or Hollywood that had been hit, that it would have been rebuilt all shiny and new by Christmas. You'd win that bet. Then you'd be hauled off to jail for gambling!
3.OthoJNoggle, man, you ain't right. Too Close For Comfort and Saved By The Bell...HA! Don't get me started! My ribs are still sore from laughing!
4.Finally, to everyone who posted: I don't know any of you but I know one thing about all of you; you've all got taste and class and I'm proud to have become aware of y'all. Stay in touch.
