Frank's Place (1987)
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?

Frank's Place was a masterpiece of writing, casting, acting and production values. It was much too good for network TV. The characters felt like friends, complex and believable--unlike the cartoon characters on normal sitcoms. How so much could be conveyed in a mere half hour is still a mystery to me. I miss it and wish it could be released on DVD, especially in the wake of New Orleans'destruction by Katrina. Frank's Place embodied all that is unique and endearing about New Orleans. The melange of warmth, humor, pain, sass, danger and intelligence that was served up those few short weeks in the late 1980's could comfort us today.
