Goofy as it was, I always liked The Trouble With Tracy and wish I could see it again. Too bad it's been said all the episodes have been destroyed. Tracy and Doug were a cute couple, kind of like Ann Marie and Donald, except Diane Nyland looked more like a cross between Elizabeth Montgomery/Sally Struthers than Marlo Thomas.

I loved that show and I miss it a lot! I can't believe that any of the Canadian networks wouldn't have rerun it over the years. And yes, Diane was simply beautiful. Here's more info about the series for their fans:

Corner Gas is fantastic and has been in my overall top 10 since I saw it on WGN. Heartland is excellent and has been in my top 10 a few times. Wind at My Back is good, INSP starting going downhill when they dropped rarely seen shows like WAMB and Our House, turning into a mostly western channel.

I like what I have seen of The Border and Check it Out, not a big sample though.
