Anyone Remember Homefront?

A friend of mine gets the Goodlife Channel (I think it may now be called something else.) and they run the old ABC show, Homefront. She made me DVD's and I have to say.. I've been loving it!
What a great, great show!
It takes place right after WWll. It has a great cast: the very underrated John Slattery and the ever so adorable Kyle Chandler, and Tammy Lauren is outstanding.
If anyone gets this station, I highly recommend this show.

I loved this show!

I even wrote a paper about it my senior in college (Analyzing Television course).

I wish DirecTV carried the Goodlife channel or better yet, I wish the series was on DVD. I have't seen the show in about ten years. I remember a few years back catching the very end of a weekend marathon on some channel and I was so bummed I missed it.

Loved it back in the day, and still remember it, and miss it. I will definitely look for these showings--though I wonder if I'd enjoy them as much now?

I miss 'Remember WENN' too. Maybe what we need is another good 1940s-era series.

Upper right hand corner.. played by Kelly Rutherford
Linda Metcalf, played by Jessica Steen... lower right hand corner.. was also a looker.
Kelly is currently on E-Ring and Jessica is on Killer Instinct w/ orange hair. She's almost unrecognizable.

You know, that's funny because until I saw that picture I had no idea or memory that Kelly Rutehrford was in Homefront. I had a girl crush on her in Melrose Place.

Also, I actually watch E-Ring and Killer Instinct. I thought I was the only one here who watched those shows.

Have they ever explained Jessica's Steen's hair on that show? Seems like an odd choice for a coroner.

Kelly played Judy Owen.. she came on half way thru the first season. She had a "little" crush on Jeff Metcalf.

I don't watch E-Ring.. I just heard Kelly was on there.

As for why Jessica's hair is orange? I have no idea. I have about 2 episodes I haven't watched yet.. although something tells me that they won't bring it up. All I know is that it's very unLinda and unJessica.
I also remember Jessica in the late 80's show, Wiseguy. I think she was in the pilot.

What part of the first post's "It takes place right after WWll" didn't you understand?

I, too, loved this show. I have it on video taped off of the TV Land marathon a few years ago. I assume music rights are holding it back from DVD?

That, and the Major League Baseball crap.
I read somewhere that it cost the producers a small fortune to feature the
Cleveland Indians. They were kinda sorry they ever started it.
I did my part by voting for it on that tvdvd.com site. I'm not holding my breath.
