   Opening Narration:

     It was a day that began like any other.  Until that little 
     nuclear... misunderstanding.  So now there are only six of
     us.  Somehow each of us found our way to this farm.  Now 
     all we have to do is... rebuild society.


   Opening Narration (pilot only): 

     Ironically, it was a time of relative peace in the world.
     In New York that day, thoughts were on the pennant race. 
     In Los Angeles, the biggest concern was beating the heat.
     And in a small town in America's heartland, a parade was 
     being held.  The people ate hot dogs, listened to marshall
     tunes played by the local high school band, and craned their
     necks to admire the latest in high-tech weaponry from nearby 
     Fort Pratt.  But at the very moment the homecoming queen was 
     receiving a deservedly warm reception from the crowd, some 
     darn kids were playing [with remote control car] near one 
     of the missiles.  [missile launches].  Retaliation was swift.
     Failsafe and doomsday mechanisms kicked in exactly as programmed,
     and in less than 50 minutes, but for a handful of survivors, the
     world had been destroyed.  Looking back on it... it had to be 
     considered a bad parade.

 1.  09/27/92   pilot

 2.  10/04/92   babymakers   
 Bill Bryan

 The survivors compete to be the man and woman best suited to

 and she winds up competing with Suzanne in a beauty pageant.



 6.  11/01/92   "THE ELECTION"  (08)
 Gary Jacobs 

 Curtis generates a folksy new image to outshine Mark as they each 
 campaign for the job of maintaining the farm's power source (and
 sleeping in the private bedroom).



 7.  11/08/92   "CURTIS UNGLUED"  (06)
 Richard Day

 When Curtis loses his necktie... and then his mind, the others 
 must find a way to snap him out of the delusional state that has 
 transported him back to 1986's bull market.



 8.  11/15/92   "DUMB LOVE"  (10)
 Tim Maile & Douglas Tuber

 Suzanne and Jack fall in love and move into the barn together,
 but jealousy poisons the romance when Jack devotes to much time
 to his shopping cart.



 9.  11/22/92   "THANKSGIVING SHOW"  (07)
 Harold Kimmel & Ross Abrash

 The group discovers another survivor: a turkey--and just in time
 for thanksgiving.  But, when it mutates into a giant gobbler, 
 they worry it just might gobble them up.



 10. 12/06/92   "SAY IT AIN'T SO, SANTA"  (12)
 Mark Nutter

 Santa (Stuart Pankin) arrives at the farm, feeling guilty because
 Mrs. Claus and the elves were killed by the nuclear attack.



 11. [unaired]   storm

 An electromagnetic storm turns Frederick into a kid again.  But little 
 Frederick (Jimmy Lee Newman, Jr) can't play around--he must act mature
 to find a cure so he can grow up again.



 [Note: based on the production codes there is very likely one other
  unaired episode, which makes a total of twelve episodes produced. ]
