Today’s streaming world has made the idea of a summer tryout for a new scripted show go the way of the VCR. But there was a time when it could reap a sizeable reward from the exposure. It turned a low-profile eight-week introduction into a six-season Emmy- and Peabody-winning run.
Those who counted Cicely home: an elderly bar owner and his 40-years-younger new wife ; a take-no-prisoners general storekeeper ; a hunky, ex-con Nietzsche-quoting DJ ; a teenaged Spielberg hopeful ; a poker-faced medical-office assistant , a Native Alaskan; a beautiful strong-willed bush-pilot who serves as Fleischman’s landlord and romantic thorn; and a former-astronaut-turned-self-appointed town boss .
Both season made the show Emmy-eligible, and it secured three 1991 nominations, including Best Drama and Best Writing .The show found a regular slot on CBS schedule that fall, for a third season, and by the time that ended, it was prime-time’s hottest show, nominated for 16 Emmys in 1992 and winning six, including Best Drama.

I loved that show!
The 1st metaphysical drama that created this nation's ideology of what a Jew is, instead of the baby-killer who shoots innocent children of 5 in the head just for breathing while wearing a t-shirt of a woman in a hajib with the sights on the newborn that reads 1 shot 2 kills.
One of my favorites show I never expected to watch. Old antenna tv, only one station that was any clear that played daily reruns every night before bedtime. Loved it!
