Jack's Place

Jack's Place is a US TV series that aired from May 26, 1992 to July 13, 1993 on ABC. The series was about a retired jazz musician named Jack Evans (Hal Linden) who runs a restaurant where romances tend to start. The waitress, Chelsea, was played by Finola Hughes and the bartender Greg was played by John Dye. The show was slated to simply be shown in the Summer, but did surprisingly well and was picked up for more episodes. Although initially having some success with audiences reviews tended toward the negative. Hence Entertainment Weekly deemed it "drearily sentimental and banal" while Jon Burlingame was slightly more positive describing it as a happy and unthreatening. Both reviewers compared it to The Love Boat and Cheers.
