Tom Skerrit (BROTHERS & SISTERS) and Kathy Baker (EDWARD SCISSORHANDS) won Emmys for their roles as James and Jill Brock, a couple trying to raise a family in middle America. As sheriff in the small Wisconsin town of Rome, James Brock sees strange things that would shock even big-city cops. The town is a haven for the wacky and weird, and no day is ever boring for its residents. PICKET FENCES also featured the talents of Fyvush Finkel (Kelley's BOSTON PUBLIC), Lauren Holly (DUMB AND DUMBER), and Ray Walston (FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH). This release includes the first season in its entirety, including the show's pilot episode. [More]

Sure, it won plenty of awards, but it was one huge liberal preach every episode. Full Review |

Tom Skerritt's Sherrif Brock and Kathy Baker as his wife were pivotal to the show's Emmy-winning success. They were something real and recognizable within Kelley's button-pushing absurdity. Full Review |
