Heartland

I remember this show and if I'm not mistaken it was one of those summer shows that last only a few weeks. It was the first time I saw Richard Guilliam on TV. He went on tho the memorable role of J.D. Shacelford on Designing women. He met and married his wife Jean Smart on that show. I believe the premise of the show was a widowed son in law and his grandson moving in with Brian Keith on his farm. I also remember one funny line from the show that my wife and I still use.

Brian Keith sitting on the porch swing relates how his son came for a visit and wanted to borrow $1000.00 to join an ashram. The other person in the scene says "and what did you tell him." He replied "I told him that if he didn't clean up his act and get a job, I was gonna kick his ashram up and down my bean field"
