Ralph Bates in Dear John.... (1986)

Review by Alanjackd

Dear John....

8/10

Gone too early

What a shame this was binned after 2 seasons. John Sullivan needs more time to develop his characters and this could have run for years and tears if it had the right backing.

Let us not forget that OFAH was close to being binned after series 2 ..but they stuck with it...same as Dear John,the character development was so important..but alas we never got the chance to watch this beauty grow.

Real funny characters here..a real bunch of people with issues thrown together to stew a great feed-line comedy.

Sullivan's work is very similar in that the characters gel over 3 or 4 seasons . Think Kirk St Moritz..think Mickey Pearce...think Trigger..think Ralph..it all fits that this was a precursor to character work in OFAH . I would personally have liked more of this and less of OFAH!

In a nutshell..a gem and will live on in DVD forever..
