80.0. "Picket Fences" by CSLALL::TERRIO () Tue Feb 16 1993 07:52

    
    
      I don't see it posted anywhere so I wanted to start one for this
    show. It's on Friday nights at 10:00 ch7. This show has the drama
    of LA Law and the wierdness of Twin Peaks. There have been some
    great shows though. Last week's episode had a bizarre ending as
    usual. For those people who watch it what did you think of the show
    about the twins and the one about the lady killing her husband with
    the steamroller.

80.1Friday night's episodeALFA1::ACQUAFRESCATake me to the beach, please!!!!Tue Jan 10 1995 03:4715
    I have a question about Friday night's Picket Fences behind the
    form-feed (warning, this is giving away part of the story and the
    ending of that episode)
    

    

    Do (did) Mayor Lawson and his wife have any children?  I thought that
    part of the desegregation storyline in previous episodes was that then
    Mr. Lawson didn't want his son attending the same school with the city
    kids.  Mrs. Lawson (after stuffing her husband in the freezer) left
    with just her suitcases.  There was no mention throughout the entire
    show about any kid.

I think you're right about them having a child. It also appeared that this
woman wasn't firing on all cylinders so she might well have just left her
children.

80.3Max and Kenny - together at lastTROOA::TRP109::Chrisif not now, when?Wed Feb 15 1995 06:1810
	Whhoooowwww.... I just watched the last episode of Picket Fences
	(from 2 Fridays ago I think) on tape and let me tell you, those
	scenes between Max and Kenny were HOT!  They finally got together
	(hope I'm not spoiling this for anyone - nobody could possibly
	 be as far behind in their tape viewing than me :*)  )  I'm
	looking forward to their future storyline - hope they keep them
	happy for awhile because I feel the 2 actors have great chemistry.
	Question though.... wasn't Kenny dating Kimberly?  What happened
	to them?
	
80.4Kenny and KimberlyALFA1::ACQUAFRESCATake me to the beach, please!!!!Wed Feb 15 1995 07:598
    At the end of one episode, Kenny and Kimberly decided that they were
    pursuing each other only to get back at Jimmy.  They believed that they
    were seeing each other for the wrong reasons so they decided to stop.
    
    The show is not on this week either.  Homicide is on.  I hope they
    bring it back soon.  They haven't even found the mayor yet!!

    Does anyone know who produces this program?

80.6David KelleyPSDVAX::HABERJeff Haber..SBS IM&T Consultant..223-5535Fri Mar 10 1995 06:5411
    
    I believe that it is produced by David E.(?) Kelley who is also the
    creator and was responsible for (or played a significant part in the
    formulation of) other series such as L.A. Law and E.R. (or is it
    Chicage Hope?  I don't watch them...)
    
    He is from the Boston area and I believe there are references in other
    notes to how he introduces references to our area from time to time. 
    He's also married to Michelle Pfeiffer [poor guy ;^)]

<--------    It's "Chicago Hope"
80.8ThanksNEWOA::GORE_IIAN GOREFri Mar 10 1995 23:346
    Re -2
    
    Thanks for that! It was the similarity with Chicago Hope that prompted
    the question.

    Actually, David E. Kelley did produce LA Law in the early days, (as the
    ad for Chicago Hope says, when it was good!)  I just read the TV
    listing for tonight's show:  That's why they showed the dancing bandit
    show last week.  Behind spoiler:
    
    
    
    
    Jimmy is going to enlist the help of the "dancing bandit" to find Mayor
    Lawson.  Like, haven't they searched his house at all????

    According to the T.V. Guide. It said the last shows of the season.
    
          I hope so

    I watched it last night, but can't remember if it was on the American
    or the Canadian station.  It wasn't one of the better episodes, IMHO.
    You can tell that it was a rushed episode that just wanted to wrap up
    some unfinished business.  Too bad - I always liked this show.  It
    combined a quirky sense of humour with some valid social issues.

    This show was great in its day, but I'm glad its gone after what
    they put out this year.

80.15Anyone tape the last one?RNDHSE::WALLShow me, don't tell meFri Apr 26 1996 13:597
    
    Anyone in the ZKO area have a VHS tape of the last show they'd
    be willing to lend out?  My wife wanted to watch it, but she got called
    away and missed most of it.
    
    (If there's an offer, send E-Mail)

What's the deal here?  I thought Picket Fences was done for.

Have they just found a few unseen episodes laying around in the can,
suitable for early summer replacement?

    Show they didn't get to show for whatever reasons this year.
    If it would have been ER, they would have made it to air, but
    its ratings made it a candidate to bump it a lot or rush right
    to the finales.  These are all pre-final-episode shows.
    
    I guess they figure what the heck, good enough for summer rerun
    season.
