 Editor's Note
 Burt Reynolds plays Wood Newton, an ex-football player who returns to his sleepy hometown of Evening Shade, Arkansas, to settle down. But domestic life with his wife Ava (Marilu Henner), and a new career as a high school football coach, may be more challenging than he thinks. The Evening Shade Mules haven't won a game in years, and though life in the town may be quiet, it still has its share of eccentric oddballs: Evan (Hal Holbrook), the local newspaper magnate (and Wood's father-in-law); Taylor (Jay R. Ferguson), the overcautious high-school quarterback; Harlan (Charles Durning), the grouchy town doctor; and of course Ponder Blue (Ossie Davis), the town's philosophical restaurateur and the show's narrator. This collection presents the first season of the charming 1990s sitcom.
