I have no humility about having a very high IQ but whenever people said "Paul, you are so smart" I can disprove them in a thirty seconds "Then why didn't I make tapes of FRANK'S PLACE?" The show could not last on network TV because it was too damn intelligent but with a basically all black cast. Nothing against the Huxtables but the variety of characters at the Gumbo Restaurant was extraordinary, even the white character including Shorty, a short order cook. At least once a month, ten-fifteen years after Frank's Place, I laugh at the scene where he meets his love interest's husband to be: the famous astronaut with the canary-sounding voice. PRICELESS!!!! Why the hell can't I find any videos of this which, though light years different from the Larry Sanders Show, was put together with the same degree of intelligence.
