User Reviews

killer series

For some reason, everyone remembers the theme song!

A great family show that reinforced all the good things--family, unity, diversity, and acting when you know you have a just cause.

Subplots included a discussion of family tension, viz. Wilbur and Amadeus Sharpe, which was a retelling of the story of Jacob and Esau in the Bible.
