Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This aired on NBC in 1986 as a backdoor pilot that never got picked up, which explains why it feels like Episode 1 of a show that doesn't exist.
John Denver was in his full family-entertainment era here, between Christmas specials and environmental activism, basically playing himself if he'd been orphaned.
