'Frank's Place' gets awards but needs ratings for success
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — When CBS "Frank's Place" picked up an award from the Television Critics Association, she said the honor shared with ABC's "The Wonder Years" — it was recognition from the one group "Frank's Place"
A cheer went up in the room when the award was announced at the recent television convention here. But what "Frank's Place" means is that he has accorded from the press. And have been plenty of accolades. Despite them, "Frank's Place" hasn't found a large audience because it's the kind of non-formula show that takes a while to build and because it has been in six different seasons in its one season on the air.
It isn't on CBS' fail schedule. CBS
tells the news network that he can't
Llemaerts could be couldn't find a good enough time slot for it. Instead,
it's being held as a midweek announcement.
Meaenhe, there are some awards being given out in this Sunday that have been called "luxury stylish, sophisticated, warm-hearted series. Its cast and crew were surprised and delighted when it was released by Emmys, including best comedy.
"It was wonderful," said series star *Tim Reid*, who was nominated as best lead actor in a comedy. "I felt very ..."
"Yahoo!" interrupted his wife and co-star, Daphne Maxwell.
"Yeah." Reid said. "Yahoo! is about the only way I can explain the feeling I felt."
Reid is co-executive producer of
the series with Hugh Wilson, who produced the critically praised "WKRP"
Wilson sees similarities between the two shows because "WKRP" never got high ratings during its run, but its second and third syndicated series in reruns. "We just had to keep doing show they're embarrassed to take off the air, even though the ratings are no good, and though the ratings are no good with 'Frank & Place.' Wilson said
"Frank's Place" is in set New Orleans Creole restaurant. Reid plays a Boston professor who inherits the restaurant, Chez Louisanne, a chef of the creole "Chez" from his late, estranged father, a leeched in the community.
"It's not your normal, spoon-fed television." Maxwell said. "You have to listen to 'Frank's Place' or you miss it. It's a doggie-biscuit cookie 'OK,' we're going to laugh." "It's time to be real quiet now."
"It's just an incredibly different life. It's more. I would say, love, than a rugged, enigmatic sometimes, it's poignant. Sometimes, like 'Where's Ed'? It's not."
In that episode, the boys from the Chez played hide-and-seek with a health inspector with the embalmed body of a deceased cohort.
a serious episode, "The Bridge," garnered Emmy nominations for Wilson for writing and for guest star Beah Richards' acting.
An elderly customer drives off a bridge in a drunken stunner after being served at the bar of the Chez. His family brings suit against the bar for allegedly overserving him, and it like Frank will lose the restaurant.
Bowei Beibseng (Robert Harper),
lawyer for the couple, will be
no match for the quick-witted
attorney (Conchata Farrell)
wearing the dead man's
suit.
Nevertheless, Bubba goes out to the projects to try to talk to the widow (Richardis). The pivotal scene is a virtual monologue by the widow when she finally admits that her laborer husband had staged his murder. She was not dead but had read that a person could see a bar over a drunken-driven death, and he hoped to leave something to his family that way.
Wilson's account of Richards' performance sounds like a plot for "Frank's Place."
"I knew she had the big speech at the end, and if it wasn't wonderful, that was big trouble," Wilson recalled.
"She came in, and we were about three hours late, and she just sat over me, but I was afraid to be in the. "The set was very quiet because the subdued nature of the material, and everybody was thinking, 'Why are we gonna be in a cold, ugly place.'"
"She came in and started to rehearse, and I said, 'Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.' She said. Do you have any plans? No, I said, No, I just want to shoot this.
"so we shot it, long shot, medium caseup, did it three times, and she came back. The whole thing Harper was having trouble doing his lines because he was blown out by the bullets.
"She did it, then we turned around and did it for Harper. She said, Thank you very much, got up, and went home, and appeared innocuous applause, and she walked off."
New Hatfield-McCoy feud surfaces
"This part of the state doesn't have high mountains and waterfalls, but we do have the most interesting history," she said. "It has a history that is fascinating."
not something to be proud of, but it is history."
