You're welcome, Jen! I also think you find great stuff!
Yes, Jak I thought it was a great show too, it definitely had the right people!
More than I can say about the Elvis movie with JRM...

I agree with all of you, I enjoyed this show too. I wouldn't mind if they aired it again. My favorite playing Elvis was Kurt Russell but this guy wasn't bad at all.

All I wanted was a white knight with a good heart, soft touch, fast horse
Ride me off into the sunset Baby, I'm forever yours
it was a good show. I was surprise they didn't go another season. He looked like he really got into the role towards the end. I believe it's available on DVD now.

If you look there are unofficial versions to be found that people burned from VHS
Oh my gosh!!! I had completely forgotten about this series. I think that I was only about 16 at the time and I thought that Michael St. Gerard was soooo beautiful (but only because he resembled Elvis)
"before you abuse, criticise and accuse... walk a mile in my shoes"
It is a pity it never been shown here in our country. Thanks for sharing.
It was well written and acted. Top notch production, critics loved it-but it did not grab huge ratings.
I haven't seen this for ages. I remember at the time I thought it was great. I was reading a bit about Michael and it said he got to play Elvis twice in films with Heart of Dixie (1989) and Great Balls of Fire! (1989).
I thought this was interesting to know.
ELVIS THE KING - TODAY TOMORROW & FOREVER
Yes, Kurt Russell still did the best Elvis, IMO.
But, this wasn't too bad. Better than Elvis movie with JRM...
I just kept seeing things that could have been better.
The problem of being so book smart {?} about Elvis, I think.
I thought Kurt Russell was great as Elvis, but when I saw the movie again earlier this year, I wasn't crazy about it! Although, it was definitely better than Elvis - the movie with JRM!
franny
Yeah...I remember this!......Thought he did a really good job as Elvis.
