Hugh’s ‘Place’

The article on director Hugh Wilson (“Having a Blast With a Little Fusion,” by Kathleen Craughwell, Jan. 31) failed to mention my favorite of his many credits: the wonderful but too short-lived series “Frank’s Place,” which he produced in association with Tim Reid in 1987. A marvelous, poignant, funny, and intelligent comedy, it was never really given its chance by the network.

Although it had a criminally too-short life span on TV, all the episodes are held in the television collection at the UCLA Film and Television Archive, where they are very popular indeed.
