I have just finished watching Pie in the Sky. I remember I watched it when it was first in TV. Loved it then and I loved it now. Must admit it wasn't easy watching a television show from 30 years ago. Obviously quality and technology has vastly improved. There were times it sounded like they were talking in a barn. Once I got used to it, it was pure joy for 5 seasons. I only wish it could have been more. The storylines were simple and there was no gratuitous violence and no foul language...what a breath of fresh air. I loved all of the characters in the show with the exception of fisher. He irritated me from the first episode to the last. RIP Richard Griffith, you were wonderful. I also had fun looking up the actors on IMDB those who's faces were familiar.
I came upon this by accident. Not normally something I watch. I think I was intrigued by the Bahamas, one of my favourite places. This was a feat to behold. So incredible how they did it, some mistakes were made and cost a small fortune to rectify. A hurricane that swept through. The attention to detail was incredible, the machines were unreal. Everyone had their specific job and they excelled at it. In the city where I live, they have been replacing a bridge, not a big bridge. One just spanning a narrow river and it has taken them at least three years and they are still not finished. I seriously want to go and say to the powers that be, watch this documentary and see how it's done!!!
The rest of the cast were awful. I found the wife extremely unpleasant. I don't know whether she worked but he must have to earn a small fortune to afford an apartment like that in New York and yet she begrudges him having to work long hours. The kid apparently takes after the mother and is unpleasant. So he gets unlimited wishes and wishes for stupid unnecessary wishes. Who wouldn't wish for world peace and lots of money and excellent health and an end to homelessness. Only watched because Richard Curtis has written some brilliant stuff in England and I like Melissa McCarthy. Not sure I could recommend it.
