Title: Fernwood Forever
Review: It is great to see the series available once again, and at less than 20 bucks it is well worth it. Norman Lear wasn't the first to bring the soap opera to night time, but this ingenious spoof of Peyton Place made it much more fun to watch. You really have to get into this crazy quiltwork of characters to enjoy the show, otherwise it will test your patience pretty quickly. MH2 may have been the creation of Lear, but it was the writing of Gail Parent and Ann Marcus that made the show so memorable, creating a cult following. Marcus had a chance to let lose after writing for Search for Tomorrow. An amazing number of episodes were produced, but these 25 episodes are about all most people will be able to take. MH2 sticks to the soap opera format, whereas Soap, which came out a year later, treated the material pretty much as a sitcom. Great cast! In addition to Lasser and Mary Kay Place, there was Martin Mull, Dabney Coleman and Doris Roberts.
