I'm glad to see others haven't forgotten this show.

I really loved it.

The fishing city setting was a nice change of pace after constant young people in Manhattan shows.

The restaurant was a great setting with the mom and the son running it and I liked how one of the guys worked at a hotel front desk. Everyone had real jobs not like Joey on Friends being an actor.

Also the return of Molly Ringwald to television was nice since I always hated that she got dumped on FACTS OF LIFE.

ABC should have given it a full season...and I would be the first in line to buy a DVD release.

I'd be second in line then for the DVD. I've been searching, but such a thing does not seem to exist. Anyone?

Even over here in Australia I found this a very enjoyable show and was disappointed that its run was so short, but then I like quirky little shows. I have fond memories of The Good Guys with Bob Denver, another short lived comedy.

I agree, I loved that show. They have no idea in hollywood, if it isnt about new york city or LA it isnt relevant. I would love to have the series DVD. I also never knew why they took off Veritas the Quest- the ratings were great.

I loved it, too. One of a few not-so-stupid (and maybe that's the reason why not so succesful) shows US has produced.
