The funniest show I ever saw was "Best of the West"!!! Some of the lines were priceless and the actors had great chemistry! My favorite however, was Tracy Walter. He played the character "Frog". For those unfamilar with him, you may have seen him on Nash Bridges-he was Nash's "guardian angel"!
Anyone else remember the show?

Sadly, this show didn't last long! WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I loved this show. Frog was great. I also liked Parker Tilman. I wonder what ever happened to the actor who played him? He sort of reminds me of Ian McShanes character on Deadwood but of course his was a much cleaner version.

The actor that played him died of AIDS.

I wish I could recall his name!

Thats terrible. I never knew that.

Yes.
I only know because once in a magazine, some years ago, they had photos of all the celebrities that had died of AIDS up to that time (at least that was known of!)
He was hilarious in the scene where he was trying to romance the outlaw that was disguised as a woman. The outlaw was played by Joe Re..., er, can't spell his name, but he was on Murphy Brown!! hee hee hum,,,,

He was hilarious. The whole cast really was. I wish this show would be released on DVD but since Joel Higgins other show Silver Spoons hasn't yet, I doubt this show will.

I wish they would too!
I used to crack up my family when I'd talk like Frog!! A friend of mine still asks me to do it occassionally!!

Thats right I do remember Mr. Sunshine. That was a pretty good show but it didn't last long. That came out a little after MacGyver another HW show.
