The Last Frontier | FOX | 1996

June - July 1996
FOX | 6 episodes | Sitcom


WHO'S IN IT? Jessica Tuck, Anthony Starke, Patrick Labyorteaux, Leigh-Allyn Baker

SYNOPSIS: Kate moves to Anchorage, Alaska, on a six-month assignment building a tourist resort for a hotel conglomerate - "the greedy bastards building that eye-sore on Red Shirt lake!". She's less than pleased when the only suitable accommodation that she can find is sharing with three 20-something immature males - Reed, who runs an outdoor adventure company, Billy, a conservative architect and the straightest of the three, and Andy, a not too nice Air Force intelligence officer.

The show ran for six episodes in summer 1996. There's no evidence of how it performed (one can only assume).

VERDICT: Has its moments, but nothing overly memorable. The Alaskan setting was interesting, but not explored within the pilot - this could be a story told anywhere.

CANCELLED BEFORE ITS TIME? I'd have to say no.
