Wonderful writing, film, acting the whole cast and writers and producers were top notch. One of the few shows i literally felt like I was there in person in some scenes because of the sets filming etc etc etc... Love the stories also. I wish they'd do a remake of it!

[@TammyGrosso]

I absolutely remember it. Actually, I was the nanny for "Parker", David Hart for a summer. I met his kids and wife at camp one year. And was asked to go down to Georgia during the summer taping of the show. Me and his kids (Mamrie, Annie and his son) would go on the set and go out to eat with the all of the actors. We all had a blast. Those Good old days!

Wow Tammy. Awesome. Were you there for just one summer?

Still watch it on reruns. Coral O Connor was wonderful It’s so sad to hear what happened to his son and also to the guy that played the chief of detectives. Died too young. Did you see Bubba is a born-again Christian.

[@suzannahschulthies1260]

Alan Autry has been a Christian for a very long time.

The comedy between Gillespie and bubba was pure gold.

[@janeymashburn7862]

i was an extra on 5 episodes of this show and met all of the actors mentioned. my most favorite was Carroll, always so pleasant and kind also Carl Weathers was so polite as well< the cast always knew the extras were just as important as the cast, to me that made it one of the best shows. ok now "Hurry up and Wait" i loved those lines and if you have ever been on a set you have heard them too.

[@danielepepin4257]

I LOVED In the Heat of the Night and all the characters on that show. It remains one of my favorite drama shows from the past. I still watch it often. And YES Bill Gillespie was one of the most humane, intelligent and yet street smart cops in our TV history. I loved the last year of the show best - when Bill had become Sheriff and he and Harriet got closer. Bubba was my favorite character. I feel like every girl was wishing Bubba was her big brother. I sure did.
