Was this a TV series or a TV movie?


If it was a series was there more than one episode or was it canceled after the pilot?

It was a pilot for a TV series which was cancelled after the pilot.
Wouldn't mind seeing it. Really can't imagine anyone replacing Frances McDormand, but Edie Falco is a terrific actress.

It was a pilot that was never picked up as a series (so there wasn't anything to cancel). Unless the network that commissions them shows them (which hardly ever happens anymore), these things generally are never seen (though some of them are being shown online nowadays), but "Fargo" was shown on a dinky cable net a few years after it was filmed. They promoted it pretty heavily at the time. Unless someone posts it online or includes it as an extra in some future DVD special edition of the film (another recent development), you may have a difficult time ever seeing it.
