I loved it

I caught the series after it had been on for a few weeks.I kick myself for not seeing them all.I picked it up late in the run,then the reruns that they ran through the summer(1987).It disapeared for a few weeks,then the repeats ran for a few more.There was about 12 episodes,I think I saw about 8 or 9 of them.Christina Applegate looked her very best,all the male actors were good veterans.Basically the show deserved a longer run than it got.Sure,Wes did a lot of "flashbacking" to his wifes shooting...but that was his big "moment",not something to be forgotten.
