Palmerstown, U.S.A.

I would certainly like to see all of the series of Palmerstown again. I remember it as a young- adult growing up. It had the some of the same qualities of say the Waltons or little house on the prairie. I enjoyed good wholesome family entertainment. I don't know why it went off of the air so quickly. I would really like to see it again. We have so little good wholesome programming these days and when I saw Palmerstown for the first time I was really delighted. It dealt with many real life issues that were prevalent at that time. I kind of like that "down home" feeling that you can get when watching Palmerstown. I would really hope to see it again in the near future.

This series came out post-"Roots" and only lasted for barely one year. Two young boys, one black and one white would defy their small town's racist attitude to become the best of friends. Similar to a show called BOON, this series examined the civil rights era in America and all the progresses and setbacks that existed.

Mike Fox (MJ Fox) was cast as Willy the grocery boy shortly after he arrived in LA. He had finished "Leo and Me" for the CBC and was heading to Hollywood where fate would play a huge role in getting him Family Ties. His role in Palmerston,although limited, was enough to get him noticed.

I have seen the promo and I freaked out when I found out Michael J. Fox was in it! I checked all the steaming services and dvd, even dailymotion, but haven't been able to find it. Any place where I can find it? I gave this a 10 star because I saw a promo of it and lived it! But, please help!

I remember watching this when I was very young (about 5). It was one of the shows my family would watch together in the evening, with the Waltons. It was a nice, family oriented show.

The only episode I remember is one in which the two young boys find a bottle of whiskey someplace and get drunk.

VERY ahead of its time.
