161.0. "Ned Blessing" by MKOTS1::GRANT (Margo DTN 264-3705) Wed Sep 15 1993 00:37

Anyone else watching this?  I think I must have missed the pilot, which I 
regret, but this is turning into a don't-miss show for me.  In general, I 
think the characters are solid, and I love the interplay.  Sure, the ongoing 
Wren/Ned interaction is predictable, but it's delightful!  And I *love* the 
old deputy character (can't remember his name) -- he seems to have been born 
to play that part.

Last week's episode, where Oscar Wilde visited town, was a hoot.

161.1Gone soonAIMT::PETERSBe nice or be dog foodWed Sep 15 1993 01:346
    I caught the premier episode. It could have used a little more work but
    the show has been getting steadily better. The premier introduced most
    of the characters and explained the old Ned was in jail waiting to be
    hanged for something unknown. Unfortunately this week is the last
    episode and it is not listed in the fall schedule.

161.2Wahhhh!\WKEND::MACARTHURWed Sep 15 1993 04:4810
    Bummer - figures that it's not going to be on anymore just because I
    like it!  Darn, darn, and double darn!  This always happens to me! 
    Why didn't they just call it a mini series or something?  Grrrrr......
    
    I really like all of the characters too - the duputy's name is Sticks
    because he's so skinny.
    
    Oh well, maybe they'll renew it - one can only hope!

I've enjoyed this series a lot too. The overall look of the production may
be familiar (not to mention the actor playing Sticks) if you've seen _Lonesome
Dove_, same producer. I'm really surprised it's had so few episodes, four
or five in the summer don't seem to be sufficient to judge it's potential
audience. Mabye they'll bring it back as a replacement later.

Was that it?  The "Sticks" guy was in Lonesome Dove?  Now that you mention it,
yeah the feel is very similar.

Re possible cancellation ... aaaaauuuuuuuggggghhhhh.
161.5Why, oh why?WKEND::MACARTHURFri Sep 17 1993 01:037
    ARGH!   Does anyone in the Boston area know why they showed an old
    Perry Mason show instead of Ned Blessing last night?  Needless to say,
    I was severely bummed!  I realize that Raymond Burr just passed away,
    but I was really looking forward to watching Ned!
    
    GRRRRR!
