Trivia:

Dixie Carter auditioned for the role of Bootsie Westchester, but she gave such an impressive audition that she was given the role of series heavy Carlotta Beck.

Quotes:

Carlotta: I'm afraid I'd have to seduce Wild Bill. It's something that I would find disgusting and repugnant. But after all, I am young, voluptuous, and irresistible. And if that's what it takes to get them out of here once and for all, then I am prepared to make the sacrifice!

Want the Video!!

This was the funniest series that was ever on TV. It needs to be available on video. I for one would buy several to give as gifts. Ann Wedgeworth is just hilarious, but every actor is superb. After 20 years, I still remember some of the scenes! Anyone who ever saw it has never forgotten it.
