I and other fans of the show who plunked down hard earned money for Season 2 before its release was canceled haven't forgotten, and will keep reminding y'all Carsey-Werner peeps at regular intervals to release Seasons 2-6 until y'all finally do the right thing and do so.
So while I'm impatiently waiting for the DVD release of one of my fave shows, just thought I'd mark the anniversary of the September 24, 1987 first telecast of the groundbreaking show by testing you TransGriot readers knowledge of it.
