I have no idea who these supposed critics of the show are watching. The acting is stellar, the plot, albeit familiar in some ways is in my opinion excellent. Let people watch the show and think for themselves what they want. It's like when someone says that this restaurant serves delicious food, you go there,.....and it's horrible. What matters is what viewers like, hence another season. You really don't have to stomach the show, just change the channel. I'm sure there is another cheesy reality show on. If they can keep season after season of those stupid shows they can easily give this another stint.

I saw this being filmed around 1969/70. Some scenes were filmed at a bar that was made to look like a gas station/store. I was 12 at the time. I would ride my bike down Feather River Blvd to the place they were filming. The fried egg on the pavement I saw. My mom has pictures of her and George Kennedy and Jim Brown on the set during a break in filming. I loved the film...of course I was a bit biased. It took me seeing the film when I was older to understand and appreciate this film. I have seen it several times and it doesn't get old. The actors played their parts well. It does remind someone of the old south and it's difficulties especially with people of color in that part of the country. Of course our town and Colusa could have been mistaken for a town in the south back then.

There are many classic films out there in the world and truly this movie deserves mention. With the many one-liners and the excellent acting throughout this movie will have you laughing many times. For those of you who don't like the actors or a particular actor your missing a masterpiece. Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfus made an odd but masterful team and the supporting staff like Julie Hagerty, Charlie Korsmo, & Kathryn Erbe, blend in well. Marcella Lowery & Lori Tinn Chen provide great albeit brief bits as well. The writing, the directing, the acting were A+. If you never see this movie you will have missed out on something. If you come across this movie someday never knowing what it is, and you watch it, you will be pleasantly surprised.
