Thanks for all of your cards, thoughts and prayers. Never surrender your passionate support for quality television that has the power to impact millions of lives in a positive and enduring way. Despite what they would have you believe, you can exert considerable influence on the decision making process. The best to all of us in 2003.

Have You Seen These?

Ponderosa A prequel to the classic television series Bonanza, features paced action as well as tender family moments. Daniel Hugh Kelly stars as young Ben Cartwright, a widower who is raising his three sons in the Nevada Territory.   Heaven Sent A beautiful, emotionally rich film with meticulous attention to detail and period authenticity, HEAVEN’S GATE is an epic Western about tolerance. Based on actual historical events taking place in late 1800s Wyoming, the film stars Christopher Walken as a hired gun and Kris Kristofferson as an idealistic lawman in a struggle between wealthy landowners and impoverished immigrant farmers. The film has reached cult status. (Jim played the role of Kopestansky in this film)
