That's how long I've been sending letters to CBS to release Frank's Place on VCR tape. Now of course I petition for a DVD release. Or any digital download. ANYTHING! I have always replied "Frank's Place" when asked for my favorite show. #1. After the second episode, I knew the fluffy headed public did not deserve nor would support the show. Of course moving the time slot around didn't help. Maybe not having a laugh track kept the public from understanding this was a working mans comedy. The premise of the show might have been beyond the public understanding. Yes, NOLA really is like these people, and in fact, are like people around the world. I could write a similar sit-com just sitting in the Mexican Restaurant I frequent almost daily. "That's Ed!" "Ed, he's dead." still my favorite line and episode. Then the man singing "The Banana Boat" song in the alley. I knew where that one was going. Then Conchata Ferrell the lawyer's line. "In other words gentlemen, I am your worst nightmare come true." Plus the search for Beignet was a classic joke. I still use it today on friends that don't know what the are.
