I forgot about this show
So, I used to love Evening Shade. Does anyone out there remember this show? It has been picked up for syndication on CMT and was on last night. TJ thinks I am crazy - he doesn't remember this show. It was on from 1990-1994 on CBS - Mondays 8pm.
This show was so good and funny. There was a character named Herman on the show that made me giggle. Burt Reynolds was an ex-football player for the Pittsburgh Steelers and moves back to his hometown of Evening Shade Arkansas to coach his old High School football team the Mules - who haven't won even one game in 2 years. And the show goes from there.
The creator of this show was Linda Thomason - the same lady who created FABULOUS shows like Designing Women and Murphy Brown. Like those shows, the last years were over run with political issues and made the comedy fall in the background...most people think that this was the time all three shows "jumped the shark!" Opinions?

The show never actually existed. It's all a government conspiracy put in place by the Bush administration to raise Burt Reynolds popularity so that he can run as the next President of the United States. I mean really, its so ovious. He was the quarterback for the Steelers. The quarterback is the head of the team, the president is head of state. The Steelers just won the Super Bowl like Reynolds will win the presidancy. It's not rocket science people. Don't let the smoke screens like the Vice Pres. shooting someone in the face blind you from the truth...REYNOLDS 08 - Everyone Has One Special Thing (tagline from Boogie Nights)
That show was lame. I remember it.
