The sun set on Evening Shade in 1994, but it's morning again for this charmingly laid-back series set in a small Arkansas town populated by a gallery of colorful characters. Evening Shade gave Burt Reynolds what Look Who's Talking gave John Travolta; a career bump after his star had somewhat dimmed. Reynolds would earn a People's Choice Award, an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his tailor-made role as Wood Newton, a former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback who returns to his small town to serve as the high-school football coach. As the series begins, the team is mired in a 30 games-and-counting losing streak. His wife, Ava (Marilu Henner), whom Wood married when she was 18, no sooner launches her campaign for prosecutor, than she learns she is pregnant. Evening Shade was created by Clinton cronies Harry Thomason and Linda Bloodworth-Thomason (it is said that Hillary suggested the show's setting and title), but the show is a Red Stater's dream; a celebration of small town America and the three F's; family, friends, and faith. In the pilot, Wood bemoans the replacement of the local eatery's jukebox and the substitution of Milli Vanilli and "Me So Horny" for the cherished songs of his youth, like "Blueberry Hill." In "Gambler's Anonymous," get out your tissues when guest star Kenny Rogers sings the stirring "20 Years Ago." Reynolds anchors the series (he also directed eight episodes) and snaps one-liners with his flip panache, but he generously cedes the spotlight to the stellar ensemble of estimable character actors, including Hal Holbrook as Evan, Ava's father and the crusty publisher of the local newspaper, Ossie Davis as Blue, the sage owner of the local barbeque hangout, and whose Our Town-esque narration frames most of the episodes, Charles Durning as the outsized family physician, Michael Jeter, an Emmy-winner as the wimpy-looking math teacher who signs on as Wood's new assistant coach, and Elizabeth Ashley as southern diva Frieda, Ava's aunt. Adding more local color are Nub (Charlie Dell), the slow-witted paperboy (a character that would barely pass PC muster today), Ann Wedgeworth as Merleen, the doc's sexy wife, and Linda Gehringer as Fontana Beausoleil, a striptease artist with a heart of gold. Evening Shade has its own easy-going rhythm, and the same smart and sassy humor the Thomasons brought to Designing Women. In the episode, "Hooray for Wood," a movie crew is in town to film a Civil War miniseries. When a producer mentions they don't have enough blacks for slaves, Blue dryly replies, "Age-old problem." --Donald Liebenson

- Terrible video quality
I love this show, but the quality of the video transfer really sucks. It is one of the worst conversions I have seen. I guess that leaves the studio a chance to sell the series again later as a new and improved digitally remastered set.

- Happy !!!
After waiting for a few years for CBS to release EVENING SHADE I was thrilled to receive the DVD of Season 1. I hope they will quickly release the rest of series. This was a favorite of my dad's and is going to be his surprise Christmas present. I received this item quickly as promised. I loved this series too and look forward to time spend with family watching this with my parents. My sons are too young to remember this so they're in for a treat as well!!!

- One of TVs great sitcoms
I don't recall how many seasons Evening Shade ran on television, but there should be DVDs produced for each season. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the episodes again after so many years, as did my mother to whom I gave the DVDs as a gift. Today's sitcom writers seem to think crude language and overt sexual innuendos are a requirement for laughter. Give me more programs like Evening Shade!

- Evening Shade - fabulous.
This is an extremely well written comedy with actors who look like they're enjoying themselves every minute. Starring Burt Reynolds as the coach who hasn't won a game in 40 matches married to a lawyer running for office in a small town called Evening Shade, with a group of friends who meet in the local coffee shop every day to share their joys and sorrows. This premise has been used in other shows in recent years, but this show does it so cleverly it is a joy to watch. My memories of seeing Evening ... Read More

- The "Shade" is great!
Where is season 2 ??? This show is so much much more than many series and has some of the greatest actors/actresses of TV's history. It is an enjoyable watch for all ages. The quality of the set is A#1. But we need the rest of the series!!!
