203.0. "Against the Grain" by AKOCOA::LPIERCE (Aint goin' down) Tue Dec 21 1993 09:24

    
    Against the Grain is a wonderful Tv show.  It's the best on
    so far.  It's great for family's and non-family's. I told my
    husband to watch it and he was unsure.. but he ended up loving it
    
    now it's going on Hiatus... do you think it will be back?
    
    Where can I write to make she this show stays on?

    Against the Grain:
    
    This show is set in Texas (big football country) a insurance sales
    person (Ed) used to go to school in the town he sells insurnace.
    Ed, didn't get much of an Education..he was passed due to being
    the star-QB
    
    The coach at the time now gets fired due to sleeping w/ students.
    Ed wants the job and he wants to be a good coach and teacher and
    have this students LEARN as well as play.
    
    Ed gets the job and he gives his wife the insurance biz!  (she was
    just a home-maker before) they have a hard time balacing there
    new roles (this was all very well done)
    
    Ed was mocked and not belived and his wife had trouble getting the
    clients due to her being a woman..but they both proved them selves
    
    The show is alot about football w/ a good twist of it realiting to
    real-life issues.. I'm no football fan by any means (I HATE IT)
    but the show has great messages.
    
    It's on Fridaynights at 8:00pm channel 4 (I think)  .. it's on
    this Friday (it's last air-date)

    Bummer!  I loved this show

    Yes, I too found this show enjoyable. It had a good dose of positive
    values, maybe that's what did it in.
