Review of Frank's Place

Frank's Place (1987–1988)
10/10
Quirky, intelligent, fun; great music
9 January 2007
I too greatly loved the show, though I only saw a few episodes because they kept changing the time it was on and I couldn't always find it. The plots, acting, and music were all wonderful - intelligent and quirky. I especially remember the episode about the corpse taken out for his last night on the town; it was reminiscent of the Cuban film Death of a Bureaucrat, but very funny in its own right. About a year ago, I wrote an e-mail to Tim and Daphne Reid asking about releasing the show on DVD. I thought it would be good to do it then and donate a portion of the proceeds for Hurricane Katrina relief. Daphne Reid replied, saying Viacom owns the rights and they'd been trying to get Viacom to release it on DVD for about two years. Of course, that's now three years, assuming it hasn't changed ownership. If anyone out there is ambitious enough to start a campaign to get it released, that's who to contact.
