I agree with the other reviews- this is a great show- even tracked down and bought the DVD before they were selling it on the internet- however it takes place in Kentucky, not Arkansas.:)to be exact David,Kentucky. I missed the first night it was on PBS but made sure to catch the other two nights.I definitely recommend this to everyone,no matter what age you are there is something in it you can relate to.Check out the web page as well- there's updates and things that the were not shown on TV or the DVD.The other shows this director has done are just as good they are def worth watching as well,especially the Farmer's Wife. Both are def worth adding to your DVD collections.
