Synopsis:
The following is from the DVD cover:
“Eccentricity defines daily life in Rome, Wisconsin, where the Tin Man from The Wizard Of Oz is murdered, a student brings a severed hand to school for show-and-tell, and a woman runs over her husband with a steamroller pleading “not guilty by reason of menopause”, Sheriff Jimmy Brock has seen it all. Indeed, behind the tidy picket fences of this quirky little town lie all the same problems and prejudices found in the big city, except in a small town everyone seems to know everyone else’s business – or thinks they do!”
CS Comment:
David E. Kelly fans should be happy to get this first season of “Picket Fences” finally on DVD. And yes, they even manage to include some bonus features.

Jones) and Mike (Omar Epps) around to help sort those feelings outand to remember their coming-of-age days in “The Wood” (Inglewood, California). From the big dance to first love, the rites of passage that are part of everyone’s growing up are winningly chronicled in this unforgettable tale of laughs and friendship that’s set to the most memorable musical grooves of the ’80s.”
“The Wood” is rated R for strong language and some strong sexuality.
