Frank's Place. I dearly loved that show. Tim Reid played a New England college professor turned New Orleans restaurateur, and the entire show was deeply evocative of that city and its people. (The theme music was Louis Armstrong's rendition of "Do You Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans?) It was also one of the few television shows to portray the lives of blue-collar African-Americans and to depict African-American entrpreneurs, to show respect for vodou, to deal with issues such as light-skin bias. It was unusual, too, in that it mixed comedic and serious elements, and often left situations unresolved. The acting was uniformly excellent, and you could sure picture yourself sitting down to a plate of crawfish étoufée some evening at Frank's Place.
