Evening Shade is an American comedy television series which aired on CBS from 1990 to 1994. The sitcom starred Burt Reynolds as Wood Newton, an ex-professional football player for the Pittsburgh Steelers who returns to rural Evening Shade, Arkansas to coach a high school football team with a long losing streak.

The general theme of the show was the appeal of small town life. Episodes ended with a closing narration by Ossie Davis summing up the events of the episode, always closing with "... in a place called Evening Shade."

Production

The show's production company, Mozark Productions, was a joint venture by creator Linda Bloodworth-Thomason of Missouri and her husband, Arkansas native Harry Thomason, which concurrently produced another successful show set in the South, Designing Women. Hal Holbrook's Designing Women character was killed off to free the actor to star in the newer program.

The series was produced in association with CBS Productions, Burt Reynolds Productions and MTM Enterprises.

Due to this partnership, the DVD rights were not settled until 2008, with CBS having been awarded the home video rights. CBS DVD/Paramount Home Entertainment has now released the entire first season on DVD, albeit with music changes and rescoring.
