Trivia

This was set to star Priscilla Barnes as the sheriff. Shortly before production began, however, Somers was brought in as her replacement. The move was ironic as Barnes had replaced Somers in _"Three's Company " (1977)_.

User Reviews

I loved this show!

I loved this show, but then again I was only 8 years old. That is the mental capacity you need to have to enjoy this poor excuse for a TV sitcom. I am surprised that it lasted for more than one season. This could not have had really good ratings. With the high saturation of successful TV sitcoms in the 1980's, this one should have been red lighted after episode one. The set looked so cheap, the dialog god awful and the jokes not funny. I doubt that this would ever go to DVD. If it does then they should expect to lose money. I am not surprised because Suzanne Sommers couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. Don't get me wrong I like Suzanne (I enjoyed her cameo in Serial Mom), but she should stick to infomercials peddling crappy products.
