'Frank's Place' DVD on the way

A DVD release of "Frank's Place," the New Orleans-set sitcom that aired on CBS in 1987 and 1988, is apparently growing closer.

I loved the series. I can't wait to get it when it becomes available.

[Reginald Stuart]

Frank's Place was one of the most clever and thoughtful tv series of its kind. While other programs were prompting audience applause or dubbing in laughter and applause from the control booths, Frank's Place was pure -- you smiled, paused or laughed when you got ready. It was a thoughtful series, of which there were not many then and there are fewer now. It's time to get Frank's Place back on the air, or at least in circulation for sale to the public. Hopefully, something can be worked out and, if everyone involved is as resourceful as the show's characters, we'll have a way to share some of the proceeds with the folk of New Orleans in still need of help post-Katrina.
