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" (001) {5.0/9} Gary Jacobs Six survivors of a nuclear war find refuge in a farmhouse.
