    • Trivia
      The role of Nathaniel "Nathan" Bedford was played in the pilot by Jason London. When the series was picked up for more episodes, Jason was already committed to filming The Man in the Moon (1991). He suggested that his twin brother, Jeremy, replace him in the series. However, Jason took over the role again in late 1993 for the series' two-hour conclusion ("I'll Fly Away: Then & Now") when Jeremy was shooting another project.

    How on Earth is this not available on DVD or online?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    One of the best written TV shows ever produced and it sits in a vault somewhere instead of being released. I would happily pay the same price as for a modern TV series. So would many others who value quality over quantity.

    What possible reason is there for not releasing it when it seems every piece of crap show ever made is available. This is truly a crime against art that there is no way to view this series.

    To Kill A Mockingbird extended, modernized and yet remaining faithful to the original. What more could anyone ask for in a drama series?

    Who is responsible for this crime? Please come forward and explain yourself.
