Probably best known for what I think was the lesser creation - WKRP in Cinncinati - Hugh Wilson was also responsible for the exquisite, but sadly short-lived, show Frank's Place. Frank's Place also starred Tim Reid (Venus Flytrap on WKRP), as an English lit prof from an Ivy League university who inherits a New Orleans restaurant after his wayward estranged father passes away. Just a smart smart series, well ahead of its time, that would have undoubtedly been a hit in 2018's Netflix or HBO.
